An important and enjoyable place to visit - We did a day trip to Sigriya . It was a bit rushed and we had to get through the museum so quickly but what we saw looked very interesting . We then climbed to the top and had fabulous views of the surroundings. I loved the lions paws, the remnants of the pool , the cave paintings , the split rock and the cobra rock. Really interesting and a good walk It is important to wear good walking shoes with grip , particularly if raining

Unforgettable Experience at Sigiriya - visited Sigiriya during my trip to Sri Lanka, and it was an unforgettable experience. The climb to the top was a bit tiring but absolutely worth it. The views from the summit were breathtaking, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye could see. The most memorable part was seeing the massive Lion’s Paws and imagining the ancient palace that once stood there. The site is full of fascinating history, beautiful frescoes, and well-preserved ruins. I recommend going early to avoid the heat and crowds. Sigiriya is a must-visit for anyone exploring Sri Lanka’s cultural heritage.

Visiting Sigiriya Fortress was an unforgettable experience. The giant rock rising above the lush forest is breathtaking - Sigiriya Fortress is truly one of the most remarkable heritage sites I’ve ever visited. Rising dramatically from the central plains, the rock itself is awe-inspiring, and the climb up is both challenging and rewarding. Along the way, the ancient frescoes, mirror wall, and lion’s paw gateway give a fascinating glimpse into Sri Lanka’s history and artistry. The summit offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding jungle and countryside absolutely worth the effort. The gardens and water features at the base are beautifully designed and show the advanced engineering of the time. It’s best to visit early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds. Bring water, comfortable shoes, and a camera because every step is picture-worthy. A must-visit UNESCO World Heritage Site that combines history, culture, and natural beauty in one unforgettable experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well worth the effort - Fantastic climb and not as difficult as I thought. Excellent guide Bandara. Great knowledge, very good English and great sense of humour. He made it achievable as well as enjoyable. We started about 6:30am which was a good time. I imagine it could be too hot later, depending obviously on the season. Highly recommend both the activity and Bandara.

Spectacular - Incredible site. Gardens and pools very beautiful. Ascent quite difficult but in the shade in the morning ( 45 min) and important to take breaks. Spectacular top view and very interesting ruins. No need for a guide. Do not miss the frescoes on the descent. It takes at least 2h30 to make the whole site without rushing

Löwenfelsen - In 473 AD, King Dhatusena (r. 455–473) of Anuradhapura was assassinated by his son Kassapa, who was the son of one of his concubines, thus securing the throne for himself. Kassapa I (r. 473–491) had the fortress built out of fear of his half-brother Moggallana, who was the rightful heir to the throne. In 491, Moggallana returned with an army from exile in South India and defeated Kassapa, after which he became king himself (r. 491–508) and made Anuradhapura the capital again. In the year 473 n. King Dhatusena (r. 455–473) of Anuradhapura was killed by his son Kassapa, who came from one of his concubines and thus secured the succession. Kassapa I (reg. 473–491) had the fortress built for fear of his half-brother Moggallana, who was the rightful heir to the throne. In 491, Moggallana returned from exile in southern India with an army and defeated Kassapa, whereupon he himself became king (r. 491–508) and made Anuradhapura the capital again.

Fantastic and breathtaking 😍 - Take comfortable shoes and plenty of water and be in your best physical shape as the hike is big... spectacular views from the top!

Sigiriya and dizziness- you can! - I wanted to write this post because I would like to give my personal point of view to those (like me) who are undecided whether to climb the lion's mountain or not because of the iron stairs and dizziness. So, given that everyone then finds their resources at the right time, I can tell you that I have done it! I climbed to the top and I had only a moment of "tension", but I overcame it by focusing on the rock and the legs of there was in front of me. I leave you with two different ideas: 1) if you climb the mountain at seven in the morning, when there is no queue, climb quickly (it does not take who knows what physical prowess) you have less time to think and you manage the time of the climb. 2) if you go up in the morning c and a lot of queue, so the positive side 3 that you see a lot of people of all ages and shapes climbing and this cheers you up, the negative side is that you climb the stairs slowly and this can make the route more complicated. In any case there is it can be done! I did it and I'm not a meditation wizard! You can do it too! Believe us, don't think about it and GET ON!!! The view will pay for everything!
