To climb Sigiriya at sunrise, is it better to book a homestay right in the jungle near the rock, or stay in Dambulla town and take a tuk tuk in the morning.

Definitely stay in a homestay near Sigiriya. Dambulla is a dusty, noisy transit town. The jungle roads around Sigiriya are incredibly peaceful, and staying close means you can literally walk to the ticketing gate at 6 AM to beat the heat and the bus tours. Plus, the homestay hosts there often spot wild elephants nearby.

Dambulla is only good if you are catching a bus early the next morning. For Sigiriya, stay close to the rock.
