This 5-hour ride ventures beyond the core archaeological zone to the Parakrama Samudra reservoir embankment and rural villages where tour buses rarely venture. You'll see how modern Polonnaruwa lives outside the ruins, cycle past rice paddies and small temples, then ride along the bund with water views and almost no other tourists. Ideal for repeat visitors who've already spent time with the major temples. Best for repeat visitors who've already seen the core sites. It takes 5 hours and is rated moderate.
