Sigiriya, a historic palace, was once considered for the title of the 8th wonder of the world. Presently, Sigiriya and Dambulla are UNESCO acknowledged heritage sites and significant tourist destinations. Dambulla is located 148 km to the north-east of Colombo, in Sri Lanka’s Central Province. It hosts an ancient cave Temple, also identified as the Golden Rock Temple, which is a prominent tourist spot. Around 25kms away from Dambulla lies Sigiriya, the location of the ‘Lion’s Rock’. This 220-meter-high rock houses an ancient Palace constructed by a past King. Besides depicting an excellently preserved showcase of ancient urban life, Sigiriya also offers rock climbing adventures for many. A single day’s tour of Sigiriya and Dambulla is sufficient to delve into Sri Lanka’s impressive history.
