Things to Do

Explore the Best Activities at Uga Ulagalla

You may want to laze around, or just lie in bed; do nothing and just enjoy the peace and quiet of our resort and its hospitality. However, if you’d like to add a bit of activity, discovery, and colour to your vacation, here in the middle of the ‘Cultural Triangle’, there’s a wealth of places to visit and explore. Many of the things you could do and see in Anuradhapura are within a few minutes’ walk or bicycle ride from the hotel.
