Sigiriya was once named as one of the World’s Wonders because of its unique significance. It is the only castle in the entire world that was believed to be built inside and on a natural rock. Sigiriya Fortress was once home to one of the greatest kings in Sri Lanka, King Kashyapa. His technology of putting the fortress together in the 4th century AD, still mesmerizes archaeologists and scientists.
The water system, frescos, the entrance with Lion’s feet, and other facets of Sigiriya Rock make it one of the icons that stands tall in representing Sri Lanka. Millions of tourists visit Sri Lanka to experience that some of this technology still works today.
Furthermore, one of the recent attractions around the area is paddle kayaking on Thalkote Lake in Pahalagama, Sigiriya. You will be able to enjoy the beautiful nature of Sigiriya. Hiking Pidurangala Rock is another wonderful experience. You can see Sigiriya Rock, magnificently standing afar when you reach the top of Pidurangala Rock.
