So happy I got the chance to visit Sri Lanka: a beautiful small country with warm and welcoming people. Both Sigiriya rock and Dambulla Temple are must sees. From the capital, took us about 4h to reach Sigiriya by private deluxe mini-van. The history around Sigiriya is quite nice and the views are breathtaking. So are the more than 1000 steps to climb up to the top... All worth to see the view and the paintings in the caves. Dambulla temple is also a place not to be missed. The statues, the temples beneath the rocks, the monkeys... Our driver Mohammed did his best to drive us safely and comfortably in the long itinerary from Colombo. The guide in Sigiriya was also very knowledgeable and patient. 10 out of 10.
Very nice tour. Totally recommended for people who donot have much time. The driver was super helpful and friendly. My only concern was the lunch, it was not the best ... not bad but not good. but overall I enjoyed the day. The view from the top is incredible
As a solo traveler, the trip was amazing! My guide Sugan was a pleasure to be around, a great driver, and went out of his way to ensure I had a great Sri Lankan food and sightseeing experience. Dambulla's Golden temple was unique and worth the stop, but the real prize at the end of the day was Sigiriya! Truly one of the most unique places I have ever been and photos really do not do it justice. A little crowded on a Saturday afternoon as you made your way to the top, but the views and the history are truly priceless. Sugan the driver really put together a great itinerary and ensured every single need was met along the way.
