How to Reach Lion’s Paws in Sigiriya

If you’re wondering how to reach Lion’s Paws while you’re planning a visit to this magnificent site, then you need not worry, as reaching this place is quite smooth. If you want to reach the site directly from the airport, then the domestic airport located at the closest distance from the site is Sigiriya Airport (6.2 kilometers). To reach the destination, you can catch a cab that won’t take more than 10 to 15 minutes. Check out for the other different modes given below.

By Train: A train to reach Sigiriya is also a great option! Situated at a distance of 15.5 kilometers from the site, Habarana Railway station is the right place to take a taxi from. The taxi will take around 22 minutes from there.

By Road: If you want to travel via car all the way from Bandaranaike International Airport, then you can do that too. The cab will take around 3 hours 40 minutes till the town of Sigiriya. If you’re coming from Kandy, you can board a bus that stops at the town of Dambulla from where you’ll have to catch another one to finally reach Sigiriya.

Harsh Vanvala

Bengaluru

Harsh's 7 days trip to Sigiriya

Every thing was good except Hotel at Nuwara Eliya. Service & food was not good. I expected a good hotel there also as I have choosen five star category. Vehicle provided should be better than given.All things are more or less ok. Except the trip advisor Chetana Sharma.She is a newone most probably.

She does not know anything about payment terms.She insisted payment to be done directly for the balance amount in USD cash.I couldn't understand ?It was better for me to pay Travel triangle in India. Hotel location at Colombo.Ofcorse it was choosen by me.

Radha Krishna

Chennai

Radha's 3 days trip to Sigiriya

Very good collection of travel agencies and experiences. But the number of agencies who are pro active and responsive in discussing the itinerary are lesser compared to the overall number

SIVAPRIYA K

Chennai

Sivapriya's 5 days trip to Sigiriya

Srilanka is really a good place to visit. We booked the package through Travco Adventures. It was really a pleasant say. The package was also budget friendly compared to other agencies. The rooms were really good. In one of the places we stayed, our room was allocated nearby the river, we had a real

good view. Food was also good in all the places we stayed. A private car was provided to us and it was spacious. However, there are also few cons. 1) Guides will be mostly working with them on contract basis. It's not like they are aware of the full itinerary with respect to places and will be taking us there. We might have to be proactive and tell them these are the places we want to visit, and ensure all the places mentioned in the list is covered. 2) We were told that we would be provided with free sim upon arrival to Srilanka, but the assigned driver was not aware of it, and this lead to a bit of confusion and a delay of around an hour. It would have been good, if all these had been communicated prior. But apart from these, the assigned guide Mr. Thushar Kumar was also really good and was sportive. He was really a kind person and it was nice to chit-chat with him during the journey. He ensured we had a good, relaxing, value for money trip.

Saravanakumar's 5 days trip to Sigiriya

Our trip was really good. The srilankan tour agent helped us a lot 'dilini'. A spl thanks to her and the tour guide & driver. The only one which I don't like is the travel triangle agent, I forgot her name. She was super rude and acting like a PM (no time to speak etc etc). I never had this kind o

f experience with anyone.
