Often hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, Sigiriya is a 200-metre-high ancient rock fortress rising from Sri Lanka’s jungle heartland. Once a royal palace built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century, it dazzles with landscaped gardens, mirror walls, and legendary lion paws guarding the entrance. Climb to the summit for sweeping views and a walk through history at Sri Lanka’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site.
October to December is Sigiriya’s wettest season. Early morning or late afternoon climbs are the best.
For a taste of local craftsmanship, head to Pathikada or the Sigiriya Craft Village for handmade treasures. Lanka Silks offers elegant textiles, while Vishwa Gems is the place to shop for Sri Lankan gemstones and jewellery.
Sigiriya serves up a rich mix of dining experiences. Enjoy fine dining at Heritance Kandalama, Water Garden, or Jetwing Vil Uyana, or savour authentic Sri Lankan dishes at popular local spots like Gamagedara, Ahinsa, Chooti, Nirvana, and Rasta Rant.
