    Wandering through the ruins was like stepping back in time—each ancient structure told a story that captivated me completely. I loved the quiet moment I found while sitting under a massive tree, just absorbing the history surrounding me, although the midday heat made it a bit overwhelming at times.

    Exploring the ancient city of Polonnaruwa was a captivating experience for our family, filled with stunning ruins and rich history that truly felt enchanting. The transportation from Wattala was comfortable, although we did hit some traffic on the way back to Colombo, which slightly dampened our energy.
