The Sigiriya rock is entwined with a tragic event. The heir to the throne had been King Mogallana, but King Kashyapa had taken power by force. King Kashyapa was afraid that his brother would come back again to take back his right to the throne. Therefore, to protect himself, he built this rock fortress.

The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 meters high the technology that has been used in creating the fort is excellent. However, Moggallana was able to defeat Kashyapa, and after that, the rock fortress was destroyed.

I booked a trip with Stelaranholidays for a 12-day tour around Sri Lanka. They were very accommodating to all of our needs and requests. We couldn’t recommend them enough. Our guide, Chandana, was the best tour guide I've ever had. He went above and beyond what was expected. Not to mention, he was a lovely and friendly person who was kind and considerate to all of us. We will be recommending Stelaranholidays to our family and friends. When it comes to customer service, Stelaranholidays Tours sets the gold standard! Every interaction was met with professionalism, friendliness, and a genuine desire to help. Great team, great place to make your travel dreams come true. Keep moving forward!
