O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Tri ogromne statue Bude uklesane izravno u granitnu stijenu čuvaju stražu nad drevnim gradom. Više od 1,5 milijuna posjetitelja godišnje hoda ovim palačnim zemljištem, otkrivajući relikvije iz kraljevstva koje je stoljećima dominiralo Južnom Azijom.
Istaknuto: Gal Vihara hram u stijeni sadrži četiri lika Bude isklesana iz jednog granitnog bloka, uključujući 14-metarskog Bude koji leži s iznenađujuće spokojnim izrazom lica koji se čini da se pomiče kako sunčeva svjetlost putuje po kamenu. U kompleksu Kraljevske palače još uvijek možete vidjeti dvoranu za audijencije dugu 30 metara koju podupiru uklesani kameni stupovi, gdje su kraljevi iz 12. stoljeća nekoć ugošćivali ugledne posjetitelje sve do Kine.
Insajderski savjeti
- Rent a bicycle rather than a tuk-tuk to explore the 6km north-south stretch at your own pace and reach smaller ruins the drivers skip.
- Bring socks because you must remove shoes at all temple sites and the stone ground becomes scorching hot by mid-morning.
- Visit the Archaeological Museum first to see the original artifacts before viewing the reconstructed sites in the main area.
- Start at the southern end (Potgul Vihara) and cycle north to beat the crowds who all begin at the main ticket gate.
