Arrive at Sigiriya at 10:30 AM and start climbing the rock fortress. Sigiriya is famous for its toadstool of golden-hued granite, protruding into the searing blue sky from a hot, flat wilderness of scrubland, which transforms into a water garden in the monsoon.

Make your way to Dambulla Cave Temple that was built by King Walagambahu in the 1st century BCE. It is the most impressive of Sri Lanka's cave temples. The complex of five caves with over 2000 sq. meters of painted walls and ceilings is the largest area of paintings found in the world.
