Dambulla is located inland, 90 mls NE of Colombo and Bandaranaike international airport, 10 mls S of Sigiriya rock fortress, 50 mls N of Kandy.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Dambulla is popular with day-trippers and coach tours stopping off on the way to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa temples.

Accommodation is limited to an air of self-contained, modern, eco-friendly properties used primarily as stopovers by tour groups visiting the country's principal historic sights.
