A new tourism concept known as the ‘Bustaurant’—a luxury bus equipped with hotel-style facilities—was officially launched today (January 15) in Dambulla.
The project has been initiated with the support of several state institutions, including the Dambulla Municipal Council and the Pradeshiya Sabha.
The service allows tourists to travel along scenic rural routes to key historical and cultural sites such as Dambulla, Pelwehera, Inamaluwa, Kimbissa, Sigiriya and Pidurangala, while enjoying food and beverages on board in a relaxed setting.
Passengers are also offered views of picturesque reservoirs including Randenigama, Ibbankatuwa and Kandalama, along with surrounding paddy fields, enhancing the overall travel experience.
The first Bustaurant journey, carrying both local and foreign tourists, commenced today, offering a full-day excursion with modern facilities while exploring Sigiriya and its surrounding attractions.
