Buddhist Pilgrimage Tours

Sri Lanka, being a religious nation, boasts numerous religious sites that draw tourists from across the globe. Buddhism is the predominant religion in Sri Lanka, so most of the country's pilgrimage attractions are connected to Buddhism.

Key attractions include the Temple of the Tooth, which houses the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha, Sri Pada Peak (Adam’s Peak), the Dambulla Golden Temple, and Anuradhapura. These spiritual sites offer perfect places for finding peace, courage, and resilience in facing life's challenges.

The Temple of the Tooth Relic, housing the sacred Tooth Relic of “Lord Buddha,” is one of the most important structures in Kandy. It is a revered site for Buddhists worldwide and is locally known as ‘Dalada Maligawa’.

Adam’s Peak

Adam’s Peak is an ancient and sacred pilgrimage site in Sri Lanka. It holds significance for Muslims, Christians, and Buddhists alike. The peak stands at 2,243 meters high.

Golden Temple

The Golden Temple in Dambulla is a revered pilgrimage destination, featuring a cave monastery with five sanctuaries. It is one of Sri Lanka's largest and best-preserved cave temples, with ancient Buddhist mural paintings from the 15th and 16th centuries and 157 remarkable statues.

Anuradhapura Buddhist Pilgrimage tour

Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka around 236 years after Buddha's death, during which Anuradhapura was the capital. The ruler at that time was Devanam Piya Tissa, a contemporary of the great Indian king Ashoka, who propagated Buddhism to many countries. With the advent of Buddhism, the city rose in significance, marking the beginning of a grand construction era that saw the creation of several massive monastery complexes and some of the tallest buildings of the ancient world.
