Sigiriya Day Tour - Dambulla Cave Temple

We visited with Sam in the afternoon the impressive Cave Temple and subsequently climbed up Pidurangalla mountain in the evening light. The following morning we visited Sigiriyah mountain fortress and afterwards went to Polonnaruwa. Sam took us to a restaurant for lunch, where delicious dishes cooked on woodfire stoves were served in a clay hut, as they were used in former times. He was not only a well informed guide, but because of his very good command of English we learned a lot about Sri Lanka and its inhabitants. He did answer all our questions very satisfactorily and above all he drove us very savely through the kind of chaotic traffic on the Sri Lankan roads. Thank you Sam!

We enjoyed the every bit of this trip. Sameera seems to know what he is doing. He had a deep knowledge about the historic sites we visited and also a nice guy.

Loved my trip, great day and I really god a great feel for Sri Lanka and its history. It was great to see two great sites in one day along with all the other great stops I made.

One of the most interesting days on our srilankan trip. Dambulla Cave Temple with its magic atmosphere offers you not only dozens of budha statues carved in the rock but also great viewpoints on your way there. We didn't visit Sigirya but rather a nearby national park where we saw many wild elephants and other animals. On our way there we also visited a batique factory and a spice garden, that we first thought would be kind of boring but actually were higlights of the trip! Sam is a great guide and knows everything about his culture and places we visited. He was always keen to help us and adjust the trip plan so we could enjoy our day as much as we could. Thank you!
