Experience:

Also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla, this Buddhist cave complex dates back to the 1st century BCE. Five caves are adorned with intricate murals and more than 150 statues depicting the life of the Buddha, including a 14-metre reclining figure carved from the rock. Set on a granite outcrop rising above the surrounding plains, the site offers panoramic views and remains an important pilgrimage destination. Visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat.
