Gateway to Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle

Habarana, a small town in Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, is a hotspot for history buffs and nature lovers alike. Located near iconic sites like Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Polonnaruwa, Habarana is the perfect base for exploring ancient wonders.

Start your adventure with a climb up Sigiriya Rock Fortress, where breathtaking views await. Visit the Dambulla Cave Temple to marvel at centuries-old Buddha statues and intricate frescoes. For a deeper dive into history, Polonnaruwa’s ruins offer a fascinating glimpse into ancient Sri Lankan civilisation.

Habarana’s charm extends beyond history. The Minneriya and Kaudulla National Parks nearby are famous for their elephant gatherings, where hundreds of elephants congregate during the dry season.
