Dambulla is best known for the glorious Cave Temple which attracts hundreds of visitors each year. However, yet another unexplored attraction in the area is bird watching. Dambulla is home to the Iron Wood Forest, the Rose Quartz Mountains and the Dambulla Tank. The diversity in habitat and terrain allows for the hosting of 233 resident bird species, a total of over one third of the birdlife in Sri Lanka. Hotels such as Heritance Kandalama, one of Heritance Hotels & Resorts, provide guided boat tours or walking tours to spot these beautiful Arboreal, Terrestrial and Aquatic birds including 4 Endemic birds which are found in the area. As one of the finest 5 star Hotels Sri Lanka has to offer, visitors can also expect the promise of luxurious accommodation and the experience of a lifetime.
