Tour Overview
Known as the "Lion Rock," Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress located in the central Matale District of Sri Lanka. It was constructed by King Kashyapa in the 5th century AD as a royal palace complex. The site is renowned for its extraordinary frescoes, stunning gardens, and the remnants of the once-majestic palace atop the rock. Sigiriya was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, acknowledging its importance as a cultural landmark. Its unique blend of natural and man-made marvels led to its nomination as the 8th Wonder of the World, placing it alongside international wonders such as the Grand Canyon and the Ancient Pyramids. Sigiriya and Dambulla have both been nominated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with Sigiriya receiving recognition as the 8th Wonder of the World at one point. Dambulla is known for its Golden Temple. Visiting Sigiriya during a Dambulla-Sigiriya day tour offers a chance to explore the premier eco-tourism destination of Sigiriya, designated as a cultural World Heritage Site in 1982. Its proposed status as the eighth wonder of the world places it among illustrious international landmarks like the Grand Canyon and Ancient Pyramids

Day 01
Arrival at Colombo International Airport and meet with our representative at the arrival lounge, and Take from Colombo airport to transfer to Sigiriya. The history of Sigiriya is a long story. The rock came into being as a result of a rivalry between two brothers. The great rock fortress, Sigiriya was built by the King Kashyapa. King Kashyapa made this great place to protect himself from his brother King Mogallana. 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. He did not want any invasion to happen by his brother. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres highThe 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. Earlier it used to be a Buddhist monastery, and after the palace was destroyed, it became a Buddhist monastery once again. Sigiriya was discovered later in 1831 by Europeans. A major of the British army, Jonathan Forbes discovered Sigiriya on his way from Polonnaruwa. Many historians and archaeologists started excavating this rock fortress, and it is through the excavations that all the glory of the rock was discovered Overnight Stay at hotel Habarana
