Visiting the Dambulla Cave Temple
The Dambulla Cave Temple is the largest group of cave temples in Sri Lanka. There are 5 caves in total which were built as shrine rooms between 85-77 BC. The caves are built at the top of a steep hill (of course), but don’t let that discourage you.

Adam’s Peak-Not Adam’s Peak Sri Lanka
