Sigiriya

Sri Lanka holds an incredible history, a rich culture and heritage that extends far beyond the influence of its various European settlers – the Cultural Triangle is the heart of Sri Lanka’s ancient kingdom, and is a must-visit during your trip with its bounty of UNESCO sites.

Sigiriya is perhaps the most spell-binding destination in the area. The Rock Fortress with its magnificent carved lion dates to the reign of King Kaspya (477-495 AD), and is one of the most famous of the island’s icons. Sigiriya is also home to the best-preserved irrigation system in Asia and is indicative of true agricultural genius. Both Sigiriya and Pidurangala rocks boast expansive views and are ideal for picnic breakfasts and barbecues.
