Hi welcome to Thamis Travel Diary Dambulla and Sigiriya are two significant historical and cultural sites located in Sri Lanka, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Here's an overview of each: π Sigiriya: Also known as the Lion Rock, Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress located in the central Matale District of Sri Lanka. It was built by King Kashyapa I (477 β 495 CE) and served as his royal palace. The fortress is renowned for its impressive rock architecture, extensive gardens, frescoes, and the famous Lion Gate, which once featured a massive lion statue guarding the entrance. Visitors can climb to the top of the rock, where they are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. π Dambulla: Dambulla is home to the famous Dambulla Cave Temple, also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla. It is the largest and best-preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka, comprising five caves adorned with over 150 Buddha statues and intricate mural paintings spanning over 2,000 square meters. The caves also house statues and paintings depicting various aspects of Buddhism. The temple complex is situated atop a massive rock, offering visitors stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Both Sigiriya and Dambulla are located in close proximity to each other, making them popular destinations for tourists visiting the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka. This area is rich in historical and cultural significance, showcasing the country's ancient heritage and architectural marvels. Visitors to these sites can immerse themselves in Sri Lanka's rich history while enjoying the beauty of its natural landscapes. ***************************************************************** Accommodation provided π The Forest Edge For Reservations: Mr.Thushan Sameera +94 77 5372360 (WhatsApp / Voice) Booking.com: https://www.booking.com/Share-NQD632 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083190759509 Location: https://g.co/kgs/zY93cGv π SPA Serandip - Sigiriya Address: Sigiriya Rd, Sigiriya 21120 Hours: Open 24 hours Phone: +94 77 700 1204 Location: https://g.co/kgs/XkzLcUn Thank you so much for watching my diary.
