One Of Our FAVOURITE Places In Sri Lanka: SIGIRIYA (+Wilpattu National Park Safari)

Описание: In this video we leave Colombo after a few great days of exploring the city and its food. We first head north by train to the old capital of Sri Lanka - Anuradhapura. Anuradhapura is home to a great variety of spiritual places and Dagobas. It’s also close to Wilpattu National Park, which is known for its population of Leopards. We had a great full day safari in the park, seeing lots of animals and great nature, although we unfortunately didn’t see any Leopards or Elephants.

We then continued to Sigiriya, which turned out to be one of our favourite places in Sri Lanka. We first climbed onto Pidurangala rock for one of the best views and sunsets we've seen in Sri Lanka. It’s a really popular place, because from the top you've got a great view of Sigiriya rock, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. The next day we then climbed to the top of Sigiriya rock, which has a really interesting history and just overall a very impressive place to visit (and it also offers some really great views). We had a really great time travelling through Sri Lanka and in the next video we’re continuing our journey through the country, which we’re very excited for!
