Our second day in the Sigiriya area. I had planned on climbing nearby Pidurangala, another monolith. But it turned out to be a day of more rain.
Having done Sigiriya Rock yesterday, and knowing how many of the steps were metal, I figured climbing in the wet was probably not the best idea.
So we decided that we’d drive half an hour south to check out the Royal Cave Temple at Dambulla.
This is a complex of 5 or 6 temples built into small caves on the side of a mountain.
Each temple contains one or many statues of the Buddha.
