Day : Sigiriya & Dambulla
Sigiriya, an ancient palace, was once nominated as the 8th wonder of the world. Today, Sigiriya and Dambulla are a UNESCO recognized heritage site and a major tourist attraction. The city of Dambulla is 148 km north-east of Colombo, in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. It is home to an ancient cave Temple also known as the Golden Rock Temple, which is a popular tourist attraction.
Approximately 25kms from Dambulla is Sigiriya, which is where you will find the “Lion’s Rock”. This is a 220 metre high rock, at the top of which an ancient King built his Palace. In addition to being a well maintained model of ancient urban life, Sigiriya is also an adventure of rock climbing for many. A day tour of Sigiriya and Dambulla will suffice for you to explore Sri Lanka’s Majestic past. Leave from Colombo at about 6.00 a.m., enjoy the scenic four hour drive to your destination, explore the two cities, and be back to Colombo by midnight.

Me and my wife did an one day tour to kandy, dembulla and sirigya with Dan Lanka Tours. We planned our tour well in advanced and were very well taken care by tour-guide that clear all our doubts and was very professional and careful. Our guide, The best guide ever! He showed us the temple of the tooth, the dembulla temple caves and the sigirya rock! He drove for a long time, but always very carefully and was very responsible. Besides, he has an excellent sense of humor! On and all, our experience withDan Lanka Tours and all are perfect! We recommend! Thank you very much!

My family and I were in good hands in all the travels we made in Sri Lanka with Dan Lanka Travels. From Colombo to Dambulla and Sigiriya. Our driver was not just driving us around but also telling us the historical story behind the everything we were touring. From the temples to elephant sanctuary in the jungles to the town markets.
The people in Sri Lanka are beautiful , kind , respecting , hardworking and decent. I promise them that I’ll be back. We really enjoyed everything.
We strongly recommended Dan Lanka travels.
