Is the Cultural Triangle round ticket still a good deal or do I just buy Sigiriya

The old all-in-one Cultural Triangle round ticket has effectively been phased out for tourists, who now buy each major site individually: Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura, Dambulla, Ritigala and the Jetavana/Isurumuniya museums each have their own foreigner ticket. Pricing is in USD-equivalent but you pay in rupees at the gate; SOME sites now accept Visa/Mastercard. Sigiriya is the priciest at around 30 USD; Dambulla and Polonnaruwa are individually around 15 to 25 USD. If you are doing only Sigiriya plus Dambulla, buy individually, simpler. If you are doing 4+ sites, ask at the Sigiriya ticket office whether any current multi-site discount package is being offered (it changes periodically). Bring cash AND a card to be safe, and keep your printed tickets, you may be asked at multiple checkpoints inside large sites.
