Avec ses 122 mètres, il était le plus haut stupa du monde, et la troisième plus haute structure du monde lorsqu'il a été construit par le roi Mahasena d'Anuradhapura (273–301).
Le Bouddha Samadhi est une statue célèbre située au parc Mahamevnāwa à Anuradhapura au Sri Lanka. Le Bouddha est représenté dans la position du Dhyana Mudra, la posture de méditation associée à sa première Lumière. Cette statue mesure 7 pieds 3 pouces de hauteur et est sculptée dans du marbre de dolomie.
Abhayagiri Vihāra était un site important du bouddhisme Mahayana, Theravada et Vajrayana qui était situé à Anuradhapura, au Sri Lanka. C'est l'une des ruines les plus étendues du monde et l'une des villes de pèlerinage bouddhistes les plus sacrées de la nation.
Les Kuttam Pokuna (étangs ou piscines jumeaux) sont d'anciens bassins de baignade bien conservés au Sri Lanka. Cette paire d'étangs a été construite par les Cinghalais dans l'ancien royaume d'Anuradhapura. Ils font partie du complexe Abhayagiri vihāra et sont un exemple des travaux dans le domaine du génie hydrologique, de l'architecture et de l'art des anciens Cinghalais.
L'étang des éléphants (Eth Pokuna) à Anuradhapura est un réservoir antique massif construit sous le règne des rois dans le royaume historique d'Anuradhapura au Sri Lanka. Mesurant environ 159 mètres de longueur, 52 mètres de largeur et 9,5 mètres de profondeur, il était utilisé pour alimenter en eau les monastères voisins. Le nom de l'étang vient probablement de sa taille énorme, ce qui suggère qu'il pourrait même accueillir des éléphants. Témoignage de l'ingénierie sri-lankaise ancienne, l'étang met en évidence l'ingéniosité et la débrouillardise des systèmes hydrauliques de l'époque
Sandakada Pahana, également connu sous le nom de Moonstone, est une caractéristique unique de l'architecture de l'ancien Sri Lanka. Il s'agit d'une dalle de pierre semi-circulaire sculptée avec soin, généralement placée au bas des escaliers et des entrées.
systèmes d'irrigation parmi les plus complexes du monde antique. Les premiers exemples de travaux d'irrigation au Sri Lanka datent d'environ 430 avant notre ère, sous le règne du roi Pandukabhaya, et étaient en développement continu pendant les mille années suivantes. En plus de construire des canaux souterrains, les Cinghalais ont été les premiers à construire des réservoirs complètement artificiels pour stocker l'eau
Le célèbre moine voyageur Chinois Fa-Hien qui a visité le monastère au Ve siècle a déclaré que le monastère abritait jusqu'à 5 000 moines à cette époque. Tous les repas de ces moines auraient été préparés et servis à cet endroit.
La Ruwanweliseya est située dans l'ancienne capitale cinghalaise d'Anuradhapura dans la province du Centre-Nord du Sri Lanka. Il a été construit par le roi Dutugamunu (137 av. J.-C. – 119 av. J.-C.) et achevé par son frère cadet, le roi Saddhatissa, après sa mort. La Ruwanweliseya est classée parmi les plus hauts monuments antiques du monde.
Le Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi est un figuier sacré, ou Ficus religiosa, qui se dresse dans les jardins de Mahamewna à Anuradhapura, au Sri Lanka. Non seulement il est le lien vivant authentique le plus proche de Gautama Bouddha, mais il est aussi le plus vieil arbre planté par l'homme dans le monde avec une date de plantation connue et une histoire enregistrée.

We had only one day in Anuradhapura and I can’t imagine a better way to experience this ancient city. Saranga was an amazing guide. He offered his knowledge about the city and Buddhism freely and openly and seeing it by bike meant that we not only saw the city, but were also able to get a sense of how the villagers lived today as we travelled between the sites. We also stopped to try some local fruits & other foods along the way, and finished with a delicious lunch. All in all, in of the best experiences we’ve had in Sri Lanka.

Suranga our guide was terrific and really knowledgeable. We heard his story as well as being filled in on the history of the different historic sites that we visited and and learnt some of the pearls of wisdom from the Buddhist culture. The bikes were roadworthy and comfortable. The ride was a good mix of quieter roads and some beautiful dirt tracks through heritage forest areas and rice paddy’s. We finished with a delicious authentic Sri Lankan meal at an organic cafe. Overall fantastic experience. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

It was really nice to get to know more about Sri Lanka through the cycling tour. It was nice to cycle because we were able to reach places that were more difficult with tuktuk. I had a lovely time in Anuradhapura and loved seeing the temples!! I would very much recommend this tour! Starting location was a bit challenging to find with the tuktuk driver but in the end we were able to find it.

Saranga, gave us a great day! Really appreciate him for sharing all his knowledge about Buddhism and the locations we visited. He talks about Buddhism, the practices of Buddhism and the locations we visited. Provided great local lunch, letting you experience the Sri Lankan kitchen.

What a great way to experience the iconic (and little-known) gems of Anuradhapura! Thanks Saranga for taking me on as your group of 1! Saranga is well-spoken and his charm and humor make this an A+ tour. Besides learning a great deal about Buddhism, local culture and customs - I also enjoyed a delicious meal at a traditional Sri Lanka Food Court run by local women. (You will not find this in any tourist guide!) Last but not least, Saranga helped me with some train arrangements and even took me to the Railway Station to see the actual schedule! He's a kind and compassionate soul. Don't hesitate to book this Heritage Bike Tour with Saranga!
