Visit the Golden Temple of Dambulla

Pedal Through History and Nature
Image

Nestled in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Dambulla is famed for its UNESCO-listed cave temples, a treasure trove of over 150 remarkable works of art.

These five caves, adorned with intricate murals and statues, epitomize the grandeur of Sinhalese Buddhist artistry. Dating back to around 100 BC, the caves hold a rich history tied to King Vattagamini Abhaya. Forced into exile by Tamil invaders, he sought refuge under a vast granite overhang in Dambulla for 14 years. Upon reclaiming his throne, he transformed the site into a sacred temple complex. Successive kings, including Nissankamalla and Kandyan rulers, further enriched the caves with elaborate embellishments and murals. Today, these awe-inspiring temples stand as a testament to Sri Lanka’s spiritual and artistic legacy.
