පොලොන්නරුව

Polonnaruwa is a city in Sri Lanka, whose origins date back to the 11th century. It is located in the interior of the island and is the administrative center of the district of the same name.

The modern part of the city is often referred to as the "New City", the historical part of the city contains monuments to the medieval kingdom of Polonnaruwa.

The city was founded in the 11th century during the reign of the Indian Chola dynasty and was the capital of the Sinhalese kingdom of the same name. During its heyday in the 12th century, extensive gardens, a large number of Buddha statues, many palaces and other buildings were built here, which still exist in a relatively well-preserved state.

The golden age of the city and the kingdom was the reign of King Parakramabahu I.

Since 1982, this entire ancient city has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.



Our names are Jana and Perly. Jana is from the Czech Republic, Perly is a resident. We are life partners. Our paths have joined together to walk the same path and support each other in good and bad times.

We would like to support Polonnaruwa, the region and Sri Lanka in tourism, but especially we would like to raise awareness about Polonnaruwa, the region and Sri Lanka. In addition to education in the form of lectures, our work also includes practical ecological activities and concrete help to schools, poor children and nature.

We cooperate with local people, offering them job opportunities and experience. Tourism with us is different - travelers, in cooperation with local people, absorb local culture, traditions, customs, songs and dances, taste and often learn to cook local dishes, walk through beautiful nature, where an ordinary tourist hardly goes, try out practical things of the local people for themselves.

We cooperate with people from Europe in the form of lectures, education, we plan exhibitions of children's works in Europe, together we build a common journey.

We look forward to you - Jana and Perly
