The stunning Royal Rock Temple complex is located in the southern side of Dambulla, around 160 meters above the road. About 150 incredibly exquisite Buddha sculptures and paintings, some of Sri Lanka's most important and evocative religious art, are housed in five distinct caverns. Over 2000 years ago, Buddha statues were initially made here, and following kings added to and enriched the cave art over the decades. The caves offer spectacular views of the surrounding landscape, with Sigiriya visible from a distance of 20 kilometers.

The enigmatic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya, rising sharply from the middle plains, is undoubtedly Sri Lanka's most spectacular sight. Near-vertical walls ascend to a flat-topped summit with the ruins of an old civilization, which are said to have been been the epicenter of the short-lived kingdom of King Kassapa, and early morning vistas across mist-wrapped woodlands are fascinating. The Castle of the the king was on top of the rock . Journey to the summit of the rock will be something you never forget .
