Take on the road after a delectable breakfast for a day steeped in Sri Lanka’s rich history. The fifth-century stronghold of Sigiriya, which is perched atop a rock that soars dramatically about 200 meters above the rainforest, is a great place to start. At the peak of this enormous boulder known as the “Lion Rock,” King Kashyapa constructed this castle. Until the British discovered it and started a laborious archaeological investigation, it had been the innermost stronghold of a vast fortified city. Over time, however, it had been neglected and abandoned, buried in thick undergrowth. Today’s ruins of this once-vibrant city give a tantalizing hint as to what once stood here. Reach the summit to take in the mesmerizing panoramas of the idyllic setting. Explore the well-preserved ruins of the ancient city of Polonnaruwa in the afternoon. It was constructed about 1,000 years ago and includes a sizable man-made lake that feeds a system of irrigation canals, the ruins of a royal palace, as well as many temples and administrative structures. Enjoy the Audience Hall, the Lotus Bath, the monument of King Parakramabahu, and the Gal Viharaya with its four mesmerizing Buddha sculptures. Before going back to your accommodation, take in the views of the Shiva Temple, the Lankathilake, the Watadage, and the Galpotha. Dambulla overnight stays are based on a chosen board.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
