What makes Sigiriya and Dambulla Day Tour from Bentota a unique experience ?
Sigiriya rock fortress is the most visited tourist attraction in Sri Lanka. It is sometimes known as the Sigiriya Lion Rock, after its original name “Sinha-Giri”. The name comes from its palace entrance through a massive brick sculpture of a lion head. Only the paws of this sculpture remain at the foot of the rock today. Sigiriya rock fortress is a fifth-century fortified palace complex, which was used by King Kassapa (477CE-493CE).
Dambulla golden rock cave temple was home to thousands of meditating monks since its monastic beginnings in the first century BCE.
