You will climb a prominent rock and then visit the Royal Rock Temple complex in the southern part of Dambulla.

Along the way you'll have opportunities to pause and take in changing views as you move upward.
At the top you’ll explore the Royal Rock Temple complex, which sits about 160 metres above the road. The site is rich in history: Buddha images were first created here more than 2,000 years ago, and over the centuries subsequent kings added to and embellished the cave art.
