Beliggende langs Sri Lankas vestkyst udstråler Negombo en fortryllende blanding af kolonial charme og pulserende lokal kultur. Denne kystby, der er kendt for sine fantastiske strande og travle fiskemarkeder, tilbyder besøgende et utal af oplevelser at nyde. Gå en tur gennem dens labyrintiske gader foret med farverig arkitektur fra kolonitiden, prøv friske fiske- og skaldyrsdelikatesser, eller begiv dig ud på en fredfyldt bådtur langs den hollandske kanal. Negombo inviterer rejsende til at fordybe sig i dets rige gobelin af historie, natur og kulinariske lækkerier.
Sigiriya Rock Fortress, der dominerer Sigiriya-området, var hovedstaden for kong Kasyapa, der regerede i det 5. århundrede e.Kr. Klippen blev engang formet i form af en løve og fik derfor sit navn. Nu er kun kæmpepoterne tilbage ved indgangen til stigningen op ad klippen. Du kan komme til at se haverne og avancerede kunstvandingssystemer, som Kasyapa havde bygget i sin fæstning. Den dag i dag forbliver dammene fulde af vand (selvom det ikke længere er så rent), og resterne af murene og voldgravene i hans fæstning kan ses. Men det mest forunderlige aspekt af Sigiriya, der bragte den international berømmelse, er de stadige klippemalerier, der fortsætter med at forvirre mange eksperter. På trods af at de er over et årtusinde gamle, forbliver farverne og formerne klare og lyse, som om de var nymalet. Når du vender tilbage til basen fra din klatring op ad klippen, kan du også besøge Sigiriya-museet, som har nogle fremragende stykker.
Dambulla Cave Temple, beliggende i den centrale del af Sri Lanka, er et helligt sted kendt for sit gamle klippehulekompleks og religiøse betydning. Udskåret i et massivt granitfremspring omfatter tempelkomplekset fem huler udsmykket med indviklede vægmalerier og over 150 fantastiske statuer af Buddha, der dateres tilbage til så tidligt som det 1. århundrede fvt. Hver hule har sin unikke charme med kunstfærdige fresker, der viser scener fra Buddhas liv og forskellige guddomme fra både buddhistiske og hinduistiske traditioner. Templet, også kendt som Dambullas Gyldne Tempel, står som et vidnesbyrd om Sri Lankas rige kulturelle arv og religiøse hengivenhed og tiltrækker både pilgrimme og turister fra hele kloden. Dens fredfyldte atmosfære, kombineret med den åndelige aura, gør det til en fængslende destination for dem, der søger trøst, oplysning og et indblik i Sri Lankas gamle fortid.

Christo Alvis collected us right on time and had made sure to check the arrangements yesterday. He was a careful driver, very necessary due to the mad tuk tuks, dogs, motorcycles etc on the roads. The journey from Negombo took around 3 hours much less than we were expecting and we even stopped for breakfast at an exceptionally clean restaurant. The string hoppers with curry, and papaya juice was excellent. We hadn't been planning to do the village tour but as Christo said- we needed to have lunch somewhere- and actually it was a great addition to the day. Sigiraya was worth the climb and the Dambulla Cave Temple also an experience. Wear proper shoes and don't change back into sandals until after the temple. Take black socks to wear in the temple as the ground is hot and the floor dusty and would ruin white ones. Men as well as women need their knees covered to go into the temple. A great day, left hotel at 6 am and due to being lucky with little traffic we were back by 5. Definitely worth stumping up for a private driver as there would be a heck of a lot of hanging around for people slower on the 320000 steps (joking- not quite that many) and also multiple pick up and drop offs would be a nuisance. If you can choose a driver, choose Christo as he was fantastic!
