The first stop is climbing the 5th-century AD rock fortress, Sigiriya, where King Kasyapa ruled (Entrance Fee Per Person USD 30).

Then, you will reach Dambulla Cave Temple by 14.00 hrs and visit the Cave Temple. (Travel Time 35 to 45 mins)

Near-vertical walls soar to a flat-topped summit that contains the ruins of an ancient civilization, thought to be once the epicenter of the short-lived kingdom of Kassapa. View Sri Lanka’s countryside and villages as you journey to the atmospheric Dambulla Cave Temple, a Cliffside cave complex packed with Buddha images and frescoes. Enter the historic caves of the Golden Temple of Dambulla, dating back to the 1st century BC. View the ancient murals depicting the life story of Lord Gautama Buddha. Look at the hundreds of figurines of Buddha and other deities scattered throughout the five main caves. Visit the Cave of the Divine King, Cave of the Great King, and the Great New Monastery. See the giant golden Buddha Statue just a little distance outside the cave complex.

You will finish the tour at 16.00 hrs and return to your hotel in Kandy by approximately 18.00 hrs. En-route, you may stop at a restaurant of your choice and have dinner.
