Travel back over 1,000 years as you climb the towering rock fortress of Sigiriya. Rising dramatically from the plains around it, Sigiriya is one of the Cultural Triangle’s historic gems and offers a glimpse into the riches of the Kassapa civilization. Vibrant frescoes line the pathway to the top, giant lions carved from the rock face guard the entrance, and the ruins of palaces and gardens map out a lavish kingdom. Climb the 1,200 steps to be rewarded with 360 degree views over the forests and villages below, a patchwork of jungle, forest, and fields stretching out as far as the eye can see.
