Culture & Heritage
Polonnaruwa
The Ancient City of Polonnaruwa is the broader archaeological landscape of Sri Lanka’s medieval capital, encompassing royal, civic and religious remains across an extensive heritage area. This Place represents the overall ancient-city experience and movement between multiple monuments; individual components such as Gal Vihara remain distinct stops within that wider setting.

Water Activities
Arugam Bay
Arugam Bay Main Point identifies the headland surf break at the southern end of Arugam Bay. It is a useful discovery stop for travellers interested in the area’s surf landscape and coastal setting, without implying lessons, equipment, suitable conditions or any particular level of access on the day.

Hiking
Ella
Ella Rock is a substantial hill-country hike leading to an elevated ridge above Ella. Travellers choose it for an active outing through the surrounding highland landscape and for broad views from the upper slopes. The experience should be planned as a hike, not as a vehicle-accessible summit stop.
