Hotels in Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle sits in the heart of the island, boasting a tropical climate with temps around 27°C (80°F) year-round. It's famous for ancient kingdoms like Anuradhapura and Sigiriya's 5th-century rock fortress. Visit during the dry season from May to September to climb Sigiriya's lion staircase or cycle among Polonnaruwa's crumbling palaces, but come in the wet season for cheaper stays and fewer tourists at Dambulla's gold-and-buddha cave temples.
