Treasures of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a hotbed for cultural holidays and Premier Lanka is your ideal partner to allow you to absorb the best cultural experiences the island has to offer. Our multi-religion island is home to many UNESCO World Heritage sites, temples, Buddhist relics, beautiful scenic vistas and lush greenery.

The world famous Sigiriya Rock fortress provides one of the most dramatic, photogenic sites on the island. Its sheer rock walls soar out of the forest into the sky, forming a flat summit that was once the ancient kingdom of a ruthless king who heinously disposed of his father to gain the throne.

Head to Kandy, Sri Lanka’s cultural capital, to discover the golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic – one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world.

Visit the ruins of Anuradhapura, the city that ruled Sri Lanka for over 1,000 years. The ruins are one of South Asia’s most evocative sights. The sprawling complex contains a rich collection of archaeological and architectural wonders – enormous dagobas, ancient pools and crumbling temples. There are a great many more cultural wonders to visit, such as Polonnaruwa, Dambulla Golden Temples and other listed sites.
