Dambulla’s cave temples are a series of beautifully decorated and adorned caverns of varying sizes. Murals cover almost every inch of the undulating caverns, which are home to dozens of statues of the Buddha and his disciples, and of various kings involved in the site’s creation.

The UNESCO World Heritage site of Sigiriya is probably Sri Lanka’s most important attraction. A massive ancient stone fortress set atop a mountainous rock in the heartlands of Central Sri Lanka, the Lions Rock (also known as the Lion Rock or Sigiriya)is an unmissable part of any visit to this beautiful island.

Pidurangala Rock, located adjacent to Sigiriya, provides epic views of the surrounding area, a historic cave complex of its own, a tenth of the crowds, and the most incredible view overlooking the famous Sigiriya rock
