Day 10 : Dambulla

This morning we travel 1-hour to Dambulla where we explore the famous Golden Rock Cave Temple, a sacred pilgrimage site for 22 centuries. This vast isolated rock mass with five caverns is the largest and best preserved cave monastery in Sri Lanka and is a World Heritage site.

We continue 30-minutes to Sigiriya - known as Lion's Rock - a massive 5th century fortress and palace ruins surrounded by extensive gardens and reservoirs. Here you can climb 1,200 steps to the top of this amazing "Fortress in the Sky" that is also a World Heritage site, with the reward of incredible views. Ancient rock paintings are also on display.

We also visit a spice garden, before returning to Kandy.

Please dress appropriately when visiting Dambulla temple, with shoulders and knees covered. There is a steep uphill walk to Dambulla, so this visit is not suitable for people with mobility issues, nor is climbing Sigiriya Rock.
Day 11 : Temple of the Tooth

Today we visit the sacred Temple of the Tooth that houses a tooth relic of the Buddha. Religious pooja ceremonies, when the golden casket containing the tooth is revealed, are held daily at 05.00, 09.30 and 18.30 - so this is the best time to visit.

Kandy was the last capital of the Sri Lankan kings and is a World Heritage site partly due to this temple. Its principal Buddhist complexes have considerable importance. The high priests of the two best known, Malwatte and Asgiriya, are the most important in Sri Lanka and the Asgiriya Maha Vihara has a large reclining Buddha image.
