Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Cave from Colombo
Overview of the tour in Colombo
Your private Sri Lankan history adventure begins at 6.00 am when your friendly local guide will pick you up from your hotel in Colombo.
Enjoy the scenery or nap in the car on the way to Dambulla, where you arrive at the famous Dambulla Cave Temple around 10.00 am. Here you will see ancient Buddha statues and elaborate frescoes in caves that date back to the 1st century. A UNESCO-listed World Heritage site, the temple also has a museum, which you will have the chance to visit.
After wandering the site you’ll have time to look for lunch nearby before taking off for Sigiriya, one of the most important archaeological sites in all of Asia. Built in the 5th century, Sigiriya is a stunning example of innovative architecture, gardening, urban planning, hydraulic engineering, and art. Also a UNESCO-listed World Heritage site, the area was formerly the royal citadel of King Kasyapa and houses a fascinating museum of its past.
