Enjoy a more relaxed pace of sightseeing — and maybe even connect with your spiritual side — at Abhayagiri Dagoba. If you're able to go inside, why not stop for a moment of quiet contemplation?

You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when spending time in Anuradhapura. Abhayagiri Dagoba is a great place to begin here, but there are many other worthwhile spots to check out. Ruwanwelisaya, Thuparamaya, and Sri Maha Bodhi are close to the place of worship and will fill in your day nicely.

7.6/10 Good! (169 reviews)
The hallmark of the hotel is the staff. Amazing friendliness, very accommodative and made us feel very much at home. Hotel overall was convenient and did justice to our stay. Check in was delayed for at least 45 minutes. It didn’t appear to be busy at the reception. Restaurant: Dinner was quite good with a well planned menu. Much variety and on point when it came to taste. Desserts could be better as seemed to be in the same spectrum. Breakfast could have been better on quality. Rooms were good sized, beds with average comfort. TV remote did not work but didn't really use it. Bathroom was well equipped. Showers with good pressure and wonderful hot water. Could have better utility for hanging towels and hooks for cloth storage. Would like to come back and enjoy the hospitality again.

9/10 Wonderful! (299 reviews)
The staff in the hotel were lovely and kindly helped us take our suitcases up the stairs to our room. They provided us with a delicious papaya welcome drink and the room was filled with all the usual amenities which was appreciated. We would liked to have ordered food and drinks, as well as using the spa but the phone in room 101 did not work. We had a long day of travelling so didn't bother walking down to reception. We attempted to contact them via email and WhatsApp but no response received. To note, the staff were lovely in person and the communication prior to the stay was fantastic and we appreciated the complomentary airport transfer..

Thuparamaya is a dagoba in Anuradhapura. It is a Buddhist sacred place of veneration. Mahinda Thera, an envoy sent by King Ashoka himself introduced Theravada Buddhism and also chetiya worship to Sri Lanka. At his request King Devanampiyatissa built Thuparamaya in which was enshrined the collarbone of the Buddha. It is considered to be the first dagaba built in Sri Lanka following the introduction of Buddhism. This is considered the earliest monument, the construction of which was chronicled Sri Lanka. The name Thuparamaya comes from "stupa" and "aramaya" which is a residential complex for monks.

Thousands of people visit Ruwanweli Stupa a day. So, buckets full of lotus and many other flowers are collected in this way. Lotus seeds have become one of the most preferred food for the monkeys who live near the stupa. This monkey also ate lotus seeds for a long period and I took loads of photos.
