Sri Lanka Travel | Ultimate Guide to Dambulla Cave

🛕Dambulla Cave Temple Admission: 2000 LKR Address: Kandy - Jaffna Hwy, Dambulla, Sri Lanka ⏰ Opening Hours: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Let me describe it in three words: Ancient The Dambulla Cave Temple, built in 89 BC, predates China's Mogao Caves. It has a history of over two thousand years, and in 1991, it was selected as a World Heritage Site in the Asia and Pacific region. Just think, is it worth the trip or not? Gorgeous The caves house a total of 2100 square meters of murals and 157 Buddha statues. The murals in Cave 2, from the ceiling to the walls, are done in one go, creating a magnificent and grand sight that would look amazing in your social media posts. Fun It's a climb from the base of the mountain to the caves, with over 400 steps, but it can be completed in about 20 minutes, which isn't too tiring. I can do it, and I'm sure my sisters can too. Along the way up, you can also see groups of monkeys 🐵, which are super cute. Tips: ✨Ladies, make sure to buy your 💰 tickets before climbing the mountain; otherwise, you'll have to come back down to buy them. The ticket office is located next to the golden temple at the main entrance at the base of the mountain. 🌈Remember, you must take off your shoes 👟 to enter the cave temple. You can leave them outside in a place that keeps shoes, but it's recommended to bring shoe covers to protect your shoes and carry them in your backpack. It's advised to wear thick socks 🧦 because the ground can be quite hot on your feet 🦶. To enter the temple, you need to cover your knees and shoulders. #Dambulla#Dambulla Cave Temple#Sri lanka#trip diary#travel guide#Sri lanka life#Sri lanka trip#Sri lanka life
