Spectacular view - The Pidurangala rock is spectacular. You have to invest some energy to get up there but it is definetly worth it. Try to catch the sunset or sunrise. The last part is very tricky. You have to be very careful when you come down to not miss a step. It could be dangerous

Superb walk with incredible view - The Piduralanga offers a magnificent view of Lion Rock The ascent is not very easy on the last part and there are a lot of people at the top at sunset but the view is incredible! Access is payable for a small fee

Marvelous - Really tiring especially because rather than a road there is a path with randomly placed stones The last stretch is also dangerous because you have to climb But when you get to the top you forget everything Wonderful show Sigiriya at sunset gives you chills Worth a trip

Wonderful! - Just wonderful! We decided to go up Rock early in the morning to admire the sunrise and the effort mixed with the heat was ABSOLUTELY worth it. I don't understand those who say to do this climb and avoid Lion Rock: trust me, do both (I did Sunrise here and Sunset on Lion Rock). The climb is more difficult than the Sigirya rock because it is a path and often, especially in the final part you will have to climb a rock: complicated but absolutely doable. The 360 degree view is breathtaking. If you come to Sri Lanka Pidurangola and Lion Rock are a must do.

Great sunrise! - Super great view. You should definitely be good on foot and it is recommended to start walking in the morning around 05:15 am to see the great sunrise and escape the heat. The last part is certainly not easy but with a pair of good sneakers and reasonably ok fitness more than good to master. In my opinion no more strenuous than any other rock (e.g. Sigiria Rock or Little Adams Peak). I would climb it again and again.

A must visit place once you are in Sigiriya - The hike to the top of Pidurangala is a bit difficult. The hike to Pidurangala takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on your fitness levels. The hike starts at Pidurangala Sigiri Rajamaha Viharaya, a temple at the base of the rock. And than endless stairs start and than some off-roading through the jungle with no clear demarcated route. However, after all the struggle once u reach at the top of Pidurangala, you get the best views of Sigiriya Rock. The Sunset here is majestic.

Wonderful place , - Nice place..amazing every one have to visit this place...evening is best time to visit because of the sun set..nice view wonderful

Epic sunrise - Very early start but worth it for the views! You need to have a certain level of fitness to get to the top, but we made it in time and day there watching the sun rise. Still smiling and can't believe we did it. Wonderful memories
