My journey starts from Kandy to Sigiriya in local transport, where I meet a fellow passenger and share a delicious Sri Lankan biryani brunch. After checking into a cozy local homestay, I enjoy a peaceful sunset trek, pineapple, and sweet bread dinner. 🌅🍍

The next morning, I wake up at 4:30 AM to climb Sigiriya Rock for sunrise. A kind local warns me about wild elephants roaming the jungle at dawn 🐘 and even drops me at the ticket counter. Entry fee is 6120 LKR (₹1800 INR).

Climbing up, I witness the breathtaking sunrise views with cool breeze, and then explore the incredible ancient ruins built in 495 AD – including 30 lakh bricks, three massive swimming pools, fresco cave paintings over 1000 years old, and the grand lion-shaped fortress. 🦁

I also dive into the history of King Kashyapa, who built Sigiriya after seizing the throne from his father, King Dhatusena, fearing an attack from his brother Moggallana who fled to South India to raise an army. This is why Sigiriya became one of the most secure forts in ancient Sri Lanka.

Later, I meet a Telugu community leader whose ancestors settled in Sri Lanka generations ago, once making a living by performing with snakes and monkeys. 🐍🐒

This episode is all about history, adventure, culture, and unforgettable sunrise views at Sigiriya Fortress. Don’t miss this iconic chapter of my Sri Lanka travel series! 🇱🇰✨
