The museum, located near the ticket booth, offers information about the site as well as a diorama of the monument and reproductions of the ancient frescoes.

This summer season specific family friendly itinerary is perfect for those who want to explore the island’s gorgeous central, hill and eastern destinations. The journey ties in coastal, ancient towns, UNESCO World Heritage sites, game drives in Wilpattu for a less touristic, visually stunning lush landscape, secluded waterfalls and beautiful treks amidst untouched forest in Koslanda, lounging on one of Sri Lanka’s most brilliant beaches that open out to turquoise waters and sampling the island’s freshest seafood in Passikudah. Drive times may be a little longer, but are well worth the time spent on the road taking in equally beautiful scenery. The summer season in Sri Lanka is full of surprises, with the East Coast at its best, and sites each have their own amazing experiences in store.
