Dambulla Cave Temple (Golden Temple of Dambulla)

Dambulla Cave Temple: Five Massive Rock Caves & Ancient Icons

4.9 (5319)

Skip the midday heat and climb the stairs by 8am to beat the humidity. You get five distinct caves packed with over 150 Buddha statues and murals that cover every inch of the rock ceilings. It takes about an hour to loop through them all. Don’t bother with the overpriced tours; a local guide at the entrance is cheaper. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered—or they will make you buy an ugly shawl.

Address: Kandy-Jaffna Highway, Dambulla
