What To Expect
Sri Muthumari Amman Kovil
The magnificent temple, featuring 1,008 statues of Hindu deities, is the masterpiece of South Indian sculptor Nagalingam and his son Ramanathan. Assisted by a team of around 100 designers, painters, and architects from Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, the temple’s grand Raja Gopuram was completed in 2007 at an estimated cost of Rs. 150 million. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to their skill, devotion, and artistry.

Built in the 5th century by King Kashyapa as his royal palace and citadel, this ancient marvel rises 200 meters above the surrounding plains, offering breathtaking views. The fortress is renowned for its advanced architectural design, intricate water gardens, frescoes of celestial maidens, and the iconic Mirror Wall, which still preserves ancient inscriptions. A testament to ingenuity and artistry, Sigiriya remains a symbol of Sri Lanka’s rich cultural heritage.

5.00I really enjoyed the day tour and saw everything I had hoped to see. Mr Irfan was a very good guide and driver, friendly and knowledgeable and we stopped for juices and fruit along the way. He was able to answer my questions and was willing to stop at any time. The company was easy to communicate with, reliable and professional and are much recommended.
Great experience

5.00Great day! Mr Fazeel was my driver and provided great conversation and information along the way - I should note that his role is that of a driver and not a guide but he shared so much and pointed out interesting things along the way so he may as well have been! Part of the tour included a stop at Royal 100 Spice Garden. Read a Google review or two on this place and you’ll get the picture. It was nonetheless interesting and I never felt pressured the purchase. Sigiriya is amazing. Take your time there and try to get there as early as possible to avoid the heat and crowd. Dambulla Cave Temple will be interesting if this is your first time visiting Buddhist temples. If it’s not, you probably won’t find it all that exciting. Mr Fazeel also pointed out an Ancient Village tour that was an option and asked regularly if I was okay or needed to stop for food or rest. A great driver.
Breathtaking

5.00We had a great day with our driver Shamin, who made sure we got an authentic experience and that we spent our time how we wanted to. Plenty of photos and facts about the local flora and fauna. He was attentive to when we needed water or a snack and looked out for bathroom stops. We decided not to do all the stops but really enjoyed the Dambulla Cave Temple and Pidurangala in particular! A great way to spend the day.
