Dambulla and Sigiriya 1 day

Discover Sri Lanka's rich history and explore its most significant attractions. Consider taking an excursion to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This experience is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in an ancient civilisation and fully appreciate the island's charm. 

The first highlight of the trip is Sigiriya - the legendary Lion Rock, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic landmarks. A climb leads to the top of this massive rock fortress, built in the 5th century by King Kassapa. Along the way, you will admire the famous frescoes of celestial maidens and the monumental lion’s paws guarding the entrance to the former royal palace. At the summit, the ruins of the palace complex and spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding jungle and lakes await. This place combines mystery, the power of nature and history dating back over 1,500 years.  

The next step takes you into a completely different, more spiritual world. You will visit the Golden Temple of Dambulla, the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. Inside the rock caves, you will discover over 150 Buddha statues and colourful wall paintings that have been telling the story of Buddhism and local spirituality for more than 2,000 years. The peaceful atmosphere invites reflection and lets you truly feel the spirit of Asia.  

This tour is an ideal combination of active sightseeing, history and spiritual experiences. In one day, you will see places that leave a lasting impression and help you better understand the culture and heritage of Sri Lanka.
