Sigiriya

It is the rock fortress the world sometimes refers to as the Eighth Wonder. Sigiriya rock towering 200m rises above the thick jungle in the central plains of Sri Lanka. Its caves sheltered Buddhist monastic monks during the 3rd century. It was made into the impressive fortress by King Kashyapa in the 5th century, who sought protection from enemy forces. It is the most famous UNESCO World Heritage Site in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. A colossal lion figure stood at the entrance leading up to galleries and staircases, of which, only the paws remain. The top of the rock, strewn with palace ruins, provides vistas across the misty forests and hills that surround.

Top Attractions

Sigiriya Frescoes

These colourful murals located in the sheer rock face, depicting beautiful maidens holding flowers, used to cover the whole western wall.

 

 

Mirror Wall Graffiti

This polished wall features ancient visitor inscriptions and poems that date back to the 8th century, often praising the murals and the fortress.

 

 

Water Gardens

The grounds of Sigiriya consist of a series of water gardens, which are still functional. These include curved tanks, bathing pools, and little islands.

 

 

Boulder Garden

It has several large boulders connected by winding pathways. The garden extends from the northern slopes to the southern slopes at the foot of the Rock.

 

Terraced Gardens

These form a series of terraces from the pathways of the Boulder Gardens to the Rock’s entrance. Bricks and limestone make up the garden construction.

 

Sigiriya Museum

The museum’s exhibits include excavated artifacts and replicas of parts of the Rock. Its atrium frames the stunning view of the actual Rock.

Safe trip from Sigriya to Kandy Dilshan drove us from Sigriya to Kandy. We stayed at his familiy‘s place where they have really nice bungalows. We had a safe trip he drove carefully and was concerned that we catch the train on time. He‘s a nice guy. We catched the train and arrived in Ella, thanks Dilshan and say hello to your nice family!

Fantastico tour di 4 giorni in Sri Lanka Era un affare dell'ultimo minuto con i Kashyapa Tours che prenotavano un tour di quattro giorni nella provincia del centro nord e infine ci lasciavano a ella. Il nostro autista (Dilshan) era eccezionale e aveva un'ottima conoscenza della Sri Lanka. Tutto è andato liscio fino alla fine del tour. Altamente raccomandato.

Excellent service at a good price We hired Kashyapa Tours to take us to anaudhpura for the day from sigiriya with a days notice and they were able to fit us in. We were extremely impressed with the service. His driving was excellent, he didn't impose and was very accommodating to our requests and we could not recommend more highly. No complaints what so ever.5 stars.

Kashyapa Tours We contacted Dilshan the night before our intended tour and he was very helpful in organising everything at the last minute. We took a day trip and Dilshan was an excellent guide taking us to our tour locations and final destination very efficiently and safely. His local knowledge of tourist sights and finding ATMs and water stops etc is excellent. His service and reliability is 10/10 and we would highly recommend arranging your Sri Lankan tour or day trips with Dilshan. He is very friendly and provides an excellent service. Thanks again Dilshan!

Kashyapa Tours We contacted Kashyapa Tours on the morning of our visit to Anuradhapura. Provided prompt service of a good car and driver. Dilshan was our driver with a new comfortable car when we went to Pollonaruwa and Kandy. Very prompt, careful, polite service and reasonable rates. He also arranged for our jeep safari to Kaudulla. Certainly recommend Kashyapa Tours.
