From Kandy head towards The Dambulla Rock Cave Temple. This temple complex is over 2000 years old and it is a spiritual center for Buddhists. Give yourself a couple of hours to explore the temple grounds and visit each of the five main caves where you will see over 150 colorful statues depicting Buddha. Save the rest of your day to explore the magnificent ancient rock fortress known as Sigiriya. Standing tall over the jungle Sigiriya was once home to a royal palace and had served as a Buddhist monastery. It stands as a testament for ancient urban planning. Gently ascend along the path to the top where a scenic panoramic view and maidens with enigmatic smiles awaits you.
