About Sigiriya Attractions

Sigiriya is hard to ignore on your trip to Sri Lanka. The picturesque fifth century city is famous for a bevy of museums, monasteries, and not to forget the world-famous Lion Rock. The city is frequented by honeymooners and budget travelers from around the world who are curious to learn about its complex history and culture. Its ornately landscaped gardens and wall fortifications are a huge draw. You will be blown away by Sri Lankan cuisine which mostly consists of steamed vegetables and chicken dishes. There is no dearth of outdoor activities to pursue here. The things to do on a Sigiriya trip include climbing Pidurangala Rock, taking a stroll in the gardens, and visiting iconic attractions.

History of Sigiriya

Sigiriya is only a couple centuries younger than Sri Lanka, built by a non-royal person for King Kashyapa. The latter brutally murdered his father and stole the throne from the rightful heir and his half brother Moggallana. Kashyapa feared that his brother might try to take revenge from him, and escaped Anuradhapura to take shelter in Sigiriya. He built his fortress on top of a giant impenetrable rock. The evidence of Sigiriya history dates back to the fifth century BC. Sigiriya transformed overnight from a rocky zone to a city teeming with people, heritage and culture. Nobody could have seen this transformation coming back then.

Languages Spoken in Sigiriya

Besides the two official languages spoken in Sigiriya which are Tamil and Sinhala, several other languages are also spoken. These include Sri Lankan English, among others. It is a multilingual city, so rest assured you will not face any issues communicating with the locals in Sigiriya Sri Lanka.

Cultural Landmarks in Sigiriya

Sigiriya draws a vast majority of people from around the world to explore its prominent cultural and religious landmarks. From national parks to temples, there’s something for every type of traveler. If safaris excite you, visit Minneriya National Park to acquaint yourself with the flora and fauna of Sri Lanka. The park is home to 160 species of birds, 25 species of reptiles, and 75 different kinds of butterflies, among other things. On a regular day, you will easily spot elephants, deers, sloth bears and if you’re lucky, a group of leopards. Our Sigiriya guide will give you in-depth information about this iconic attraction.

    Charan's 7 days trip to Sigiriya

    We have been TravelTriangeling since last 4 trips abroad. That's because of its vast network of service providers. Srilanka was planned 3 yrs back, but the economic crises there held us from moving on. It happened again and we do carry great memories from this trip. The agency Romano Lanka and its
    coordinator Mrs Minasha was were very helpful. Though, we gave them though time planning and re-planning again and again,.she didn't budge and planned well. My suggestion to future travellers. Never hold back from tasting authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, they are always best available in very local and not so fancy restaurants. Our village safari was where we tasted the best food. Thanks to the old ladies there for their expertise. It would be very convenient if the travel planners include the entry fees for every visiting places, each and every visiting places mandatorily charge entry fees. Paying every time feels very costly. The season we visited was pre monsoon, but thank god it didn't effect our trip. Thanks to TT and Minasha Cultural dance at Kandy was hair raising. Spice garden, Cave temple, Sigaria rock, Sacred tooth relic and the beaches were just awesome and enchanted.
