For history enthusiasts, a visit to Polonnaruwa's ancient ruins is a must. Take the Beyond EscapesTour from Anuradhapura to explore multiple historical sites, from temples to palaces, offering a glimpse into the city's past. Enjoy the convenience and flexibility of a tuk-tuk, with opportunities to chill under the shaded trees
