O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Sa svojih 5.800 hektara površine, jedno je od najvećih vještačkih jezera antičkog doba. Kralj Parakramabahu ga je izgradio u XII vijeku, proglasivši da "ni jedna kap kišnice ne smije otići u more a da ne bude od koristi čovjeku".
Istaknuto: Potporni zid se proteže na preko 14 kilometara, djelo koje i danas regulira protok vode prema rižinim poljima i selima. U sumrak, odraz vatrenog neba na mirnoj vodi stapa se sa silkama drevnih ruševina koje se ogledaju na površini.
Insajderski savjeti
- Bring comfortable shoes for walking on the dirt embankment, which stretches for kilometers.
- The western side at sunset offers the best view with the silhouettes of tamarind trees in the foreground.
- Bring binoculars: dozens of species of water birds gather here, including herons and cormorants.
- If you have time, rent a bicycle in Polonnaruwa and ride along the embankment to the Potgul Vehera sanctuary.
