Itinerary
Sigiriya Lion Rock
A complex masterpiece of irrigation engineering design, Sigiriya's artfully designed water gardens required structural planning way ahead of its time.
Dambulla Cave Temple
A sacred pilgrimage site for 22 centuries, this cave monastery, with its five sanctuaries, is the largest, best-preserved cave-temple complex in Sri Lanka. The Buddhist mural paintings (covering an area of 2,100 m2 ) are of particular importance, as are the 157 statues.
Sri Muthumari Amman Kovil
Near to the main road through Matale, the Muthumariamman Hindu temple is a tall, exuberantly decorated structure that can be easily seen from afar. The prominent towers, called Gopurams, boast hundreds of detailed sculptures, in a rich mosaic of colour. These Gopurams structures can be seen in other Hindu temples across the island, as well as in Southern India.

Very good tour
Communication was great. I received the confirmation about the tour right after booking. Samith was very helpful during the day and asked me what I wanted to see. So I did Lion Rock and Pidurangala Rock, then Dambulla Cave Temple. He went with me to Pidurangala Rock and he was super helpful with climbing and took photos of me with the view of Lion Rock. It's a very good chance to do what you want and skip the things you are not interested in.

Great experience Daminda
We rode with Daminda who was a gentleman. We were picked up from our hotel, driven to Kandy for a visit to the Budha tooth temple, onto a tea factory and then to Bentota by the coast. All all times Daminda took care of us. Even when my wife left her mobile phone at a restaurant Daminda helped us to recover it. Thankyou Daminda!!
