Sigiriya Ancient Rock Fortress
“One of the highlights of my trip to Sri Lanka. Dates back to 500 years before Christ. It is on the same scale as Machu Picchu or Chichen Itza. There is a photo opportunity at every step, and I took over 100 pictures. ”
– James C. Oklahoma City, OK
Golden Temple of Dambulla
“One of the major highlights of our Sri Lanka trip. This place is a must to visit. Fascinating 5 different caves (some are man made and some are natural caves) full of Buddha statues and impressive beautiful paintings all over the cave. Absolutely amazing. This is one of the most beautiful temples I’ve ever seen.”
– Lisa L. Liverpool, UK
Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara
“Historical temple with famous paintings. Kalaniya temple is one of the most visited temples all over the world. Believed to be visited by lord Buddha. There is a saying that if you worship at this temple once all your sins would vanish. Anyone who is interested in temple paintings should visit to see them. The paintings are very intricate with subtle colours.”
