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.

Jonathan's 4 days trip to Sigiriya

Out of the 3N/4D trip everything was wonderful except for the hotel on the 2 nd night. Absolutely not worth even half of the money we paid, bathroom smelling of urine, floor dirty, power lines close to window, no view, food aweful and cold, no privacy. I would rather book a trip by myself or other

agency and save a few bucks.

We had 7 night stay at 6 different hotels. We have asked and paid for 4 star hotel catagory. Thre hotels at Sigiriya, Seeduwa and Nuwara Eliya were not good. The hotel at Nuwara Eliya was of a home stay catagory. Agent should have booked better hotels.
