Stop At: Dambulla Cave Temple, Jaffna Hwy, Habarana 50150 Sri Lanka

See the giant golden Buddha Statue just a little distance outside the cave complex.

Enjoy the sight of over 150 elephants congregating in one place during the famous Great Elephant Gathering, which happens in the dry season between May to October.

Stop At: Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress, Main Road, Sigiriya 21120 Sri Lanka
