Last visit before the 4-5 hour drive to the airport is to Dambulla Cave Temple. Deceptive at first glance, with its Giant Buddha (in the process of being painted gold, and covered inscaffolding) and the super-cheesy Golden temple Building, but the actual caves...Mind-blowing! 5 separate caves, the walls and ceilings gorgeously painted, and filled with over a hundred buddhas - each cave has its own gigantic reclining Buddha (each one distinct), as well as many many seated and standing figures. It’s really quite awe-inspiring.
