Leave the hotel after breakfast for the day excursion.
Polonnaruwa is another exquisitely built mediaeval city with gardens, irrigation lakes, palaces, shrines, monasteries, and ramparts around it. It’s an intriguing aspect of the city and a brilliant example of the advanced engineering and construction techniques used in the past.
One notable feature is the vast irrigation reservoir, aptly called “Parakrama Samudraya” in memory of King Parakramabahu, the royal architect of the city. This massive reservoir was constructed with the intention of collecting rainfall and ensuring that not a single drop would be lost.
On the conclusion of the visit, go back to the hotel in the evening.
