What makes Private Day Tour to Historical sites (Sigiriya & Dambulla) from Negombo a unique experience ?
The Negombo Hotel at 7.00 am, you will be welcomed our Inway Lanka Representative and your Chauffeur Guide who will commence your day excursion to Sigiriya.
Part hedonistic pleasure palace, part fortress, and part sacred complex. Sigiriya is one of the island’s most awe-inspiring archaeological sites and a leading tourist attraction. In fact some consider it to be one of the oldest tourist attraction in the world with early visitors recording their impression as graffiti on a wall described as the world first interactive book. Located north of Dambulla. It is centered on a massive rock rising 180m above the surrounding plan and 360m above mean sea level with the ruins of palace on the top and a vast pleasure garden complex at the foot.
The Megalomaniac yet spiritual Kasyapa clearly had an eye for beauty. The pleasure gardens include a serious of symmetric pools, channels and fountain that still spurt water after 1500 years. Pathway up the rock are the famous Sigiriya Frescoes, featuring 21 bare-breasted damsels that may represent celestial nymphs, but were surely modelled on Kasayapa’s own consort. Halfway you will encounter a pair of giant lion’s paws, part of the original entrance, which required visitors to pass through the open mouth of the lion. The summit yields a dramatic vista of the surrounding jungle and contains the foundations of the palace complex, replete with the bathing pool, but all it was to be in vain.
Hewn into a 160 m granite outcrop are the remarkable cave temple of Dambulla. Located at the Center of island, and declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site of Sri Lanka. The cave temple is masterpiece of Buddhist art. Each is filled with murals depicting scenes from the Buddha’s life, and gilded statues of the Buddha in various poses.
In the 1st Century BC, the caves provided refuge to a king who fled a south Indian invasion. On reclaiming his throne, the grateful king had temple constructed in the caves that had sheltered him. These were embellished by subsequent rulers, especially during the Kandyan period in the 17th and 18th centuries. There are five major caves attraction in this monastery. Here the largest Buddha statues collection in Sri Lanka.
