Historical & Cultural Sri Lanka
Four days through the ancient capitals
Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, Mihintale and the Temple of the Tooth — the whole Cultural Triangle in four days.

The Golden Temple of Dambulla has been a place of pilgrimage for twenty-two centuries. Five caves hold 153 Buddha statues and murals covering more than two thousand square metres of rock ceiling.
What makes it extraordinary is the continuity. This is not a ruin: monks still live here, and pilgrims still climb the rock barefoot every day.
It sits twenty minutes from Sigiriya, which makes the pair a natural single base.
