Sigiriya and Dambulla are UNESCO-recognized heritage sites and major tourist attractions in Sri Lanka. The city of Dambulla is 148 km far from Colombo. The iconic site in Dambulla is its cave temple which is the largest, best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka consisting of the ancient paintings and Buddha statues that implicate Lord Buddha’s life.
Passing this sanctuary away to another 20 km, you will experience the glorious Sigiriya Lion Rock. This is ostensibly the main site you shouldn't miss when you visit Sri Lanka. The beginning of Sigiriya runs back millennia as it filled in as an Illustrious Royal residence to one of the old Rulers in Sri Lanka. Sigiriya Rock Stronghold in Sri Lanka is a genuine miracle, one of the world's less known interests which is a massive segment of rock rising 200m (660 ft) from the backwoods torments beneath.
