Private day Tour Sigiriya & Dambulla Cave Temple with Entrance Fee & Lunch

Sigiriya is one of the most valuable historical monuments of Sri Lanka.

Sigiriya Kingdom was created by King Kassapa in 495 AD, due to a dispute with his brother Mugalan. King Kassapa succeeded to kill his father and steal the thrown and rule the land. Prince Mugalan fearing for his life, escaped to India and manage to retaliate his own army against Kassapa.

Fearing his brother, Kassapa build his fortress in the top of Sigiriya that was surrounded by thick inhabitant forest to stay safe.
Now Sigiriya Lion Rock is a World Heritage Site.

The Dambulla Rock Temple had first been constructed during the rein of King Vattagamini Abhaya also known as King Valagamba ( 103 BC and 89-77 BC ). When the South Indians invaded the island king Walagamba had to abandon his Anuradhapura Kingdom .

For 12 years, King Valagamba was in hiding in these caves for his safety. After regaining the kingdom of Anuradhapura and becoming the King again, to show his gratefulness for his safe place, he converted those caves into Buddhist Temples by constructing walled partitions under the rock overhang which spans the entire area as a single large cave.

The Dambulu Rock is an ancient Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka which is 600m high from the plains. Five separate caves contain over 150 magnificent Buddha statues and paintings, which are some of the most significant and creative religious art in Sri Lanka.

These caves are found after climbing about 350 feet in the Dambulla rock. Some of these caves have been designed by humans, and there are also natural caves. They are made of natural caves and man-made caves that are too difficult to distinguish. Buddha images were first created here over 2000 years ago.
