Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Dambulla is popular with day-trippers and coach tours stopping off on the way to Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa temples.

Accommodation is limited to an air of self-contained, modern, eco-friendly properties used primarily as stopovers by tour groups visiting the country's principal historic sights.
