Hotels in Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka

The Cultural Triangle in central Sri Lanka is a dry-zone region famous for its ancient kingdoms and four UNESCO World Heritage sites: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, and Dambulla. The climate is hot year-round, averaging 30°C (86°F), so the dry months from May to September are ideal for climbing Sigiriya's 200-meter rock fortress and biking through Polonnaruwa's 12th-century royal palace. In the wetter season from October to January, you can explore the Dambulla Cave Temple with fewer tourists and see Anuradhapura's 2,000-year-old stupas surrounded by lush greenery.
