Visited Dambulla Cave Temple which is also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla on our 1st day in Sri Lanka. Our first 3 days was spent in Kandy followed by Colombo. Sri Lanka has many cave temples but the Dambulla Cave Temple is probably the most visited temple by tourists as it is the largest and best preserved cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. There is a long set of stairs leading to the temple but it's really worth the effort to climb up, the steps are quite steep but it's manageable so no worries! The temple is composed of five caves and each cave offers different sight and statues. The whole ceiling in the cave is covered by the paintings and it never failed to amaze me how they did the painting without spraining their neck..! :x The cave temple is really beautiful and unique in its way, worth a visit but make sure you wear/carry a pair of socks as you must take your shoes off before entering the temple. We almost burnt our feets...lol!
