Was this the capital of Raavan? | Unravelling the secrets of Sigiriya in Sri Lanka

Описание: Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress which was once briefly the capital of a major Sri Lankan dynasty. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an absolutely must-visit location in Sri Lanka. For me this was my dream destination and the visit there was very special.

The tickets to Sigiriya are priced at $30 if you are non-Sri Lankans. For members of SAARC countries, India is a part of it, there’s a 50% discount and the tickets cost $15. They don’t accept cards and payment needs to be done in cash only - both USD and LKR are accepted. The entry ticket also includes a visit to the museum at the base of the rock.

There is a bit of walking and hiking to reach the top. There are about 1200 steps and they are well made and not that difficult to climb. I do have two recommendations though:
1. Start really early in the morning (6am if you've done online booking)
2. Carry lots of water (at least two bottles)

Hope you enjoy my adventures of Sigiriya. After Sigiriya, we also visited an eco reserve to see elephants, and that's how our amazing day ended.
