Great Kingdom of Sigiriya The history of Sigiriya is a compelling narrative that revolves around a significant rivalry. The rock fortress of Sigiriya has its origins in a conflict between two brothers, King Kashyapa and King Mogallana. This immense rock edifice, Sigiriya, was painstakingly constructed by King Kashyapa as a bastion of protection against his brother's ambitions.
King Kashyapa's ascent to power was marked by force, as he seized the throne that was rightfully held by King Mogallana. Fearing his brother's eventual return to reclaim the throne, King Kashyapa commissioned the construction of the Sigiriya rock fortress. His objective was to create an impenetrable stronghold, impervious to any potential invasion orchestrated by King Mogallana.
The name "Sigiriya" alludes to a site of profound historical and archaeological significance, characterized by the towering rock column that soars nearly 200 meters high. The technology employed in the fort's creation is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. However, the rivalry between the two brothers culminated in King Mogallana's triumphant defeat of King Kashyapa, leading to the eventual destruction of the rock fortress.

In the year 1969, Horton Plains was declared a nature reserve. In 1988, the reserve was elevated to the status of a National Park. The gently rolling plateau of Horton Plains at the southern end of the central montane massif of Sri Lanka is interspersed with network of streams and channels. The Montane forest is also the source of three major rivers of Sri Lanka: River Mahaweli-the longest river of Sri Lanka, River Walave and River Kelani. Still more, Horton Plains is bounded by the country’s second and third highest mountain peaks of Sri Lanka: Mount Kirigalpotta Kanda (2389 m) and Mount Thotupola Kanda (2357 m).
The escarpment with a depth of 900 meters called World’s End and Baker’s fall is one of the highlights of the Horton Plains.

At an altitude of 2,100 meters above sea level, Horton Plains spreads across over 3,169 hectares of the highest tableland of the island. In view of the large number of endemic flora and fauna species, Horton Plains was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 30th July 2010.

We embarked on a 10-day tour that included visits to Sigiriya and Horton Plains, as well as a hike in Knuckles, Ella, and Tissa. One of the most remarkable days of our journey was the Knuckles hike, and it was made even more exceptional by our guide, Chandana, and the local site guide, Ajith. The service provided by the team was comprehensive, encompassing a 7 am pick-up and a 4 pm drop-off. Along the way, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast, and the package included lunch as well. Chandana and Ajith accompanied us throughout the entire trek, offering guidance and support. Our coordinator presented us with several route options and remained encouraging throughout the adventure. Despite not being seasoned hikers, Ajith and Chandana skillfully guided us through the experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable trekking experience.
