Overview

Sigiriya Rock and Dambulla Cave Temple are two of Sri Lanka’s top sights, but impossible to visit in one day by public transport. This private tour from Colombo, Negombo or Kandy takes you to both in a day by private air-conditioned vehicle. Explore Sigiriya’s fifth-century Rocktop ruins and visit Dambulla’s Buddha-filled caves, all with insights from your driver-guide, and with lunch included
