During the South Indian invasion, the king had to abandon his Anuradhapura Kingdom. For 12 years, King Valagamba was hiding and he had frequented these caves for his safety. It is located at an elevation of 1118 feet from the sea level raising a massive rock from the surrounding plains of Dambulla of 600 feet high and over 2000 feet in length.

DAY 03- DRIVE TO ANURADHAPURA- ANURADHAPURA CITY TOUR
Anuradhapura was the cradle of glorious Sinhalese Buddhist civilization. The pride of place in Anuradhapura was taken by the ancient stupas and ancient reservoirs. Towering stupas (dagobas) of stupendous domes, the marvels of ancient civil engineering, were built having taken into the account the effects of lightening on high rise constructions, among numerous other engineering factors. The vast rainwater reservoirs built by crossing rivers with enormous dams and controlling the outlets with “Bisokotuwa” (Sinhala: Queens enclosure-no entry, of course) valve pits (sluice gate), extend lifeline to Anuradhapura district to date
