Sigiriya

Sigiriya

Sri Lanka’s most visited tourist attraction, the Lion Rock Fortress, is the rock star attraction in Sigiriya. Furthermore, located two kilometers to the north of the Rock Fortress is its lessor known sister, Pidurangala Rock. Watching the early morning sunrise from Pidurangala is a must for those seeking unique travel experiences.

Mineriya and Kaudulla National parks are located in close proximity to Sigiriya. Both these two parks act as elephant migration corridors, and during the dry season large herds of elephants congregate to these ancient tanks. Therefore, if you are interesting in seeing large herds of elephants in the wild, then an evening safari in one of these parks is highly recommended.
