subject: Exclusive Boutique Hotel Sigiriya [print this page] The Elephant Corridor Hotel is located in a small village called Kimbissa, which is a mere four kilometres away from the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. It is twenty minutes away from the ancient city of Dambulla which is approximately 165 kilometres from Colombo and is in the north central region of the island. You can reach Dambulla by taking the main road to Anuradhapura and the drive, from Colombo, takes approximately four hours. Our exclusive luxury hotel combines grandeur and tranquillity as it is surrounded by majestic hills, lakes, nature and history.
Dambulla's attractions include the largest and best preserved cave temple complex of Sri Lanka, the Golden Temple of Dambulla. It is also home to the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium which can seat approximately 16,800.
Dambulla is a place of great importance in Sri Lankan history. The Buddhist monks meditating in the caves in the city provided refuge to King Valagamba during his 14 year exile from the Anuradhapura kingdom. When he returned to the throne, he built the Golden Temple of Dambulla to show his gratitude to the monks.
Sigiriya, the great rock fortress and UNESCO proclaimed world heritage site is one of the greatest archaeological legacies. It is an important part of Sri Lankan history and culture and its calibre can be sensed as you view the large formation of the rock from the reception area of our hotel.
