This is the topmost attraction around the area and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage SIte. Situated in the town of Dambulla, which is about 4hours away from Colombo by road. It was built by King Kasyapa during 477 CE. The 200 metres rock was chosen as the ideal spot due to the fact it gave a good vantage point for the King and his soldiers. Its architecture to date is considered to be a great example of an imaginative and elaborate plan; an engineering marvel.
A unique way to travel here would be to take an Air Taxi. Sri Lanka is a paradise island, and the birds-eye view that you will be exposed to on your way to the Cultural Triangle will leave you mesmerised. Cinnamon Air is well-known to have daily flights to this site.
