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.

      15 days ago
      They are ok, the driver was not telling himself on what to do and where to go but he was decent and never denied going anywhere wherever we asked. the itinerary could have been better. we missed pinnawala because of it. We paid a premium to this agency but saw no diffference. Could have seleted any other agency which was cheaper.

      Srinivasan's 8 days trip to Sigiriya

      a month ago
      The service provider Steeple Tours was excellent and they coordinated the trip very well. No challenges during the entire trip. Special mention of the driver and guide who was very helpful. Ready to go anytime as per the plan and guided the entire tour. However, there was NO support from the travel triangle guide starting from the booking till closure. Hardly I had a chance to speak to him. Even during the payment, had to escalate as he was not reachable. The whole experience thru travel triangle was NOT satisfactory.

      Bhavana's 6 days trip to Sigiriya

      3 months ago
      Travco was good, but there was no point of paying 25k to travel triangle because neither ayush nor any of their teams helped us understand the visa process. We did it on our own. Travel triangle is a simple gateway, we understood but response and connection with customers has reduced and it is a point of concern. Cinnamon bey beruwala waves

      Padhu's 7 days trip to Sigiriya

      3 months ago
      Hi, We sincerely appreciate the wonderful arrangements your team made for our recent trip to Sri Lanka. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we’re grateful for your efforts in showcasing this beautiful country—clean, green, and filled with warm, responsible people. The emphasis on road safety and the peaceful atmosphere added to our enjoyment. Highlights: The itinerary was well-curated, and most accommodations/transfers were seamless. Your team’s hospitality and attention to detail in key locations were exceptional. Constructive Feedback for Improvement: Hotel Concerns (3rd Stay): The remote location and lack of basic amenities at the third hotel made our family uncomfortable, especially as we were the only guests. A refund for this stay would be greatly appreciated. Transparency in Costs: Entry fees at temples/private attractions were unexpected. Clarifying these in advance or including them in the package would help future travelers. Similarly, sharing day-wise programs with detailed cost breakdowns (e.g., train tickets) would improve planning. Itinerary Communication: Providing a more detailed schedule (e.g., attraction entry times, fee lists) would enhance the experience. Request: Given the issues with the third hotel and unused train tickets, we kindly ask for a refund or credit for these. This would reflect your commitment to customer satisfaction. Also as agreed by your team return off $80 towards train arrangement which was cancelled due to local strike. Please note we lost $200 during the trip which was unexpected. Thank you again for the beautiful moments and your responsiveness throughout. We’d love to recommend your services with these refinements in place. Special thanks to Madhu who supported us through the tour Thanks to Aruna for safe driving Best regards, Padmanabhan

      Had a great experience touring Sri Lanka thanks to Madhu for managing this well. And Roshan for driving us around. There were some confusion about the final payment in cash vs. online hope they would have communicated well on this. Roshan managed our expectations well and ensured our needs are taken care.
