You’ll think this is a lot of stairs, my phone recorded it as 10 flights of stairs, but that’s nothing compared to Lion Rock that came in at 39 flights! Both well worth the exercise! ????️♀️
A short but easy hike. A bit high in price for the ticket: 1500 LKR per person but totally worth it. Each cave has a lot of different images of Buddha. Lots of Buddhists gathering and some tourists.
This complex of caves harbours a beautiful collection of frescoes and statues depicting Buddha. Well worth the climb up some treacherous, slippery stairs. Make sure you cover legs and shoulders.
Read up on each of the caves before you go so you know what to look for. You have to remove your shoes, and the cement can be hot, especially midday, so sensitive feet may need socks.
