Overview
Journey beyond the usual tourist path to uncover Sri Lanka’s northern treasures – a land rich in history, faith and cultural diversity. The Northern Heritage Trail runs from the ancient kingdoms of Anuradhapura and Mihintale to the colourful Tamil heartland of Jaffna and the serene beaches of the far north.
Explore sacred ruins and towering stupas, cross to the island temple of Nagadeepa, visit the grand Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, taste the distinctive cuisine of the north, and relax on the quiet white sands of Casuarina Beach. Travelling by private air-conditioned vehicle with a licensed chauffeur-guide, it is a deeper, lesser-known Sri Lanka made for cultural explorers and repeat visitors.
