The Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka
window.monetateQ = window.monetateQ || [];
Verdant green hills adjoin flat plains, overgrown jungles and sudden mountainous outcrops in Sri Lanka’s interior. Dubbed the ‘Cultural Triangle’, this ancient region of Sri Lanka takes its name from the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites peppered throughout the region. In the north are the historic ruins of Anuradhapura and Mihintale – the birthplace of Buddhism. In the centre of the triangle you’ll discover the spectacular rock frescoes and fortress of Sigiriya and to the south, the royal city of Kandy.

Between June and November is monsoon season in the south-west and north-east, but if you don’t mind the odd downpour you’ll likely enjoy the respite the rain brings from the heat. However, on such a small island you won’t have to travel far to find a secluded spot without a cloud in the sky. Pop on over in July or August for the wild Perahera festivities in Kandy, or Unduvap Poya in Anuradhapura in November when the sacred bodhi tree arrives from India.
