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 Lion Rock an indispensable stage in Sri Lanka. On the monolith you can admire the ruins of a palace. The Lion Rock is not for dizzy and vertiginous people. The tour is exhausting (1800 steps) 😤are to deal with. But the rock with its mysterious colors, the view of the palace gardens are worth the effort. Once at the top you have a wide view over the jungle landscape. Start the tour early in the morning, do not forget your camera and water, and leave plenty of time.
