Explore Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a UNESCO site with panoramic views, ancient frescoes, and royal ruins.
Dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World”, Sigiriya is one of the most iconic landmarks in Sri Lanka. Built atop a 200-meter-high rock column by King Kashyapa in the 5th century, it served as both a royal palace and a military fortress.
What Makes Sigiriya Special:
Stunning frescoes of celestial maidens (Apsaras)
The Mirror Wall, once so polished it reflected the king’s image
The Lion’s Gate with its massive stone paws
Symmetrical royal gardens that show off ancient hydrological engineering
Climbing Sigiriya is both a physical and visual adventure—you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding forests and plains.
