Dambulla, Sri Lanka

Spent Thanksgiving visiting the Royal Rock Temple complex in Dambulla. Did not miss the turkey one bit.


The hike up to the caves is steep in parts, but offer superb views of the surrounding countryside.


The caves' history as a place of worship is thought to date back to around the 1st century BCE. There are five separate caves with about 150 Buddha images. Delighted to have visited another UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Happy Thanksgiving.
