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.

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.
