Just escape the tourist streams and enjoy the Sigiriya Rock. Only a few steps away from the main entrance, you walk on very well laid paths and in complete silence.

Visiting the rock is surely a lasting memory. It takes a lot of sweat to climb the rock up to the last step. The view compensates for the effort. Worth a visit.

The Sigiriya Lion Rock is certainly worth doing. The climb upwards the Lion's Paw is definitely a bit tough. The views at the top as well as the paintings however made it more than worthwhile for us.
