After visiting #Polonnaruwa , I left #Dambulla and go to #Kandy, the last stop of #SriLanka Cultural Triangle. A place I had high expectations for, but mixed feelings in the end.

The Temple of the Tooth Relic is truly impressive, without a doubt the highlight, and honestly the only place that really stayed with me.

The Temple houses what is believed to be one of Buddha’s teeth, a relic of enormous spiritual and political importance in Sri Lanka.

From #Dambulla, my next stop was #Polonnaruwa, one of Sri Lanka’s ancient capitals. And this time, it really clicked. Unlike #Anuradhapura, this place immediately felt more immersive and atmospheric.

The ruins are surrounded by dense vegetation, giving it an almost Angkor Wat–like feel, though on a smaller scale. Temples, palaces, monasteries… the variety here makes the visit much more dynamic.

From #Dambulla, my next stop was #Sigiriya.

That massive rock rising out of the flat landscape had been calling my attention for a while, it really feels unreal when you first see it.

At the top, there’s an ancient fortress, and it does sound interesting.

But I decided not to climb #Sigiriya itself, it felt expensive, and honestly, I wanted to see the rock from the outside, not from above.

After #Anuradhapura, I spent a few days in #Dambulla, using it as a base to explore key sites of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle.

My first stop was the #CaveTemple, a series of #Buddhist caves covered in wall paintings, with beautiful views over Sri Lanka’s lush green landscape.

Dambulla itself didn’t really impress me.

The town isn’t particularly pretty, but it’s very practical as a base to move around the area and explore the #CulturalTriangle in #SriLanka

[NEW POST] Le grotte con i templi rupestri di Dambulla rappresentano uno dei siti più scenografici e significativi dello Sri Lanka.
La cittadina in cui si trovano non ha altre grandi attrazioni, ma permette di immergersi in un'atmosfera e un'ambientazione tipicamente cingalesi.
