It is also known as Lion Rock because of the huge lion that used to stand at the entrance to the Palace on the summit of the 600-foot high rock. On its summit are the foundations of the Royal Palace, Water Tanks to supply water and all other buildings and at the edges the guardhouses. On one of the stairways the only known ancient work of Sinhala secular painting survived in the form of Frescoes of 21 life sized damsels still shining in their original colors. The Water Gardens, Fountain Garden, Summerhouses, Boulder Gardens and the Caves within the enclosed area should not be missed.Dambulla Cave Temple (also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla) is a World Heritage Site (1991) in Sri Lanka situated in the central part of the country.

- Day 3 :Dambulla - Nuwara Eliya
After breakfast check out from the hotel & transfer to Nuwara Eliya. Hanuman ji temple, Tea plantation & Tea Factory….. The tea factories found on most tea estates play a vital role in the final value of the manufactured tea. Regardless of how carefully the leaf has been grown and plucked, if the processes at the factory are not carried out properly the end result will be of a poor quality. A tea factory is a multi-storied building, almost always sited on the tea estates to ensure that the time between plucking and processing tea is kept to a minimum. Once the tea leaves arrive at the factory they are spread across the upper floors of the building in troughs – a process known as withering. Withering removes all excess moisture in the leaf to make it pliable. Proceed to Nuwara Eliya & check in to the hotel. Dinner & Overnight stay at Araliya green hills, Nuwara Eliya

- Day 4 :Nuwara Eliya
Breakfast in the hotel. Nuwara Eliya - The ‘Little England’ of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of Mountains, Valleys, Waterfalls and Tea Plantations. It is supposed to be one of the coolest places in the Island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night. All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions. The Victoria Park, in the middle of the town, is a lovely place for a stroll or a picnic. Seasons may be absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers, which bloom in the spring (March to May) and the fall (August and September). These are the “seasons” when low-country folk flock to Nuwara Eliya to escape the sea level heat and humidity. Visit seetha amman temple & Gregorey lake.

Gregory Lake
Gregory Lake was created in 1873 by the British era Governor at the same time, Sir William Gregory, supposedly for the purpose of providing electricity. The lake was mostly used for leisure time and recreation after it was built. Recently, the hilly district of Nuwara Eliya received a complete facelift by the government. The lake is also the landing location of amphibious aircraft belonging to the Sri Lankan Air taxi service which provides scenic domestic flights in Sri Lanka. In addition to this Colombo can be reached in a very short half hour by using the newly built highway, in case of a visitor needing to return to the capital immediately. Hence, Gregory Lake is a family friendly destination attracting visitors from all the corners of the world.
