Cave temple complex in Dambulla.

The ascent to the caves, which sit at a height of 150m above the plain offers a thrilling experience, and close contact with monkeys along the way. The panoramic view from the top of the rock is one of the best in Sri Lanka.

Tissamaharama, although mainly serves as a starting point for visits to Yala National Park, also it is famous for its large white restored dagoba. The monument has a circumference of 165m and stands 55.8m high. ...and it is nicely lit up at night. It is worth to visit on the way to Yala.

Sri Lanka is a real delight for hikers, offering abundant trails, tracks and paths that cross the highlands and lowlands, meander along rivers, test you through dense forests, amaze you with flowing waterfalls and lush tea plantations, and reward you with the sight of paddy fields and beautifully landscaped gardens along the way.
Sinharaja Rain Forest is one of the excellent sites where a keen hiker can experience the endemic flora and fauna and breathtaking scenic views.
