Golden Temple of Dambulla, Dambulla

The cave sanctuary complex, which includes more than 150 Buddha statues and hundreds of colorful paintings, is a special experience. The first of the five large caves is said to be 2,500 years old, but the colors and shapes have been perfectly preserved under the influence of minimal light. Its approach here also begins with a multi-step climb, but it is worth the scenic sight. The caves and the lush green vegetation that surrounds them are a stunning contrast, and the rushing but non-aggressive monkeys make the place hilarious. Unfortunately, admission here is also expensive at 2000 RPs.

This is must visit attraction in Sri Lanka. The hike to the caves is exciting and the views from top are mesmerizing. The cave temple is serene and calm offering plethora of Lord Buddha statues in different forms and positions. The golden temple at lower level was equally good. Good luck!
