Top of the line! - Ayubowan! First we wanted to let you know that we had to change the pickup time from 9 am to 11 am on the same morning. That was no problem at all and the staff we were writing were very kind and polite. We got picked up from our Hotel (Amaya Lake) at around 11am from the friendliest driver Mahesh. He was a very kind and polite Man with a lot of know how about the region and surrounding areas. At first we visited the Sigiriya Rock. He dropped us at the Main entrance and told us he would wait at the other exit. The trip up to the top of Sigiriya Rock was guided by a local Tourguide. The view from the Rock was tremendous and breathtaking. After we finished the Climb and got picked up by Mahesh we made our way to a local Herbal Garden where we bought some Ayurvedic Herbs and Medicine. At the end Mahesh dropped us at the Dambulla Cave Temple. We can higly recommend Mahesh, his driving skills and knowledge about Sri Lanka are Top of the line. Bohoma istuti Mahesh!
