Make the most of your island getaway by indulging in some of the most spectacular things to do in Sirigiriya Sri Lanka. These include seeking prayers at the Dambulla Cave Temple, going on a hot air balloon ride, receiving a lesson in history at Sigiriya museum, embarking on a cycling tour, elephant watching at Minneriya National Park, climbing Sigiriya Rock, hiking Pidurangala Rock, and more. These are some of the top things to do here. Sigiriya offers both recuperation and avenues for adventure. Climbing the rock fortress may be the most popular thing to do here, but it is not the only one. There is no dearth of under-the-radar, offbeat things to do in Sigiriya. Here’s the lowdown on some of the most exciting activities:

Rock Climbing In Sigiriya

You can climb the Sigiriya Rock Fortress or Pidurangala Rock, depending on your endurance level. The former involves a more difficult hike than the latter. The morning hours are the best time to climb since the site would be relatively uncrowded and the summer heat won’t be at its peak. It takes roughly an hour (or less, depending on your fitness levels) to climb Sigiriya rock. If you head there during peak hours, you may take a bit longer because people usually stop by on the way to take photographs and block the path.

Elephant Watching In Sigiriya

Minneriya National Park are famous for attracting hordes of elephants from the surrounding regions. These elephants usually turn up at the park to feed. This park is home to multiple fields of sugarcane. Sugarcanes are an elephant’s favourite food. It is also known for being home to a range of other animals exotic to Sri Lanka. You can rent out a jeep safari and tour the park. If you go in a group, you will have to pay a nominal fee compared to if you go solo.

Exploring Flora And Fauna In Sigiriya

Kaudulla National Park, which is not so far away from Minneriya National Park is known to house different species of plants and animals native to Sri Lanka. It is a shelter for butterflies, birds and multiple animals, herbaceous plants and shrubs. It attracts many elephants because the park is laden with sugarcane fields. It is immensely popular with tourists. The ideal time to visit this park is in the dry season.

Cycling Tour In Sigiriya

A vast majority of the travelers choose to tour Sigiriya on a cycle rather than opting for a private vehicle. Sigiriya is an year-round destination, and the weather is overall pleasant and balmy. The weather is appropriate for an exerting outdoor activity like cycling. There’s no better way to explore the natural beauty and charm of Sigiriya. You can take as many stops as you want to for clicking photographs, which you won’t be able to do if you were in a public bus.

Revisiting History In The Museums In Sigiriya

The Sigiriya Museum, located in close vicinity to Sigiriya Rock Fortress, is perfect for a day time stroll. You have to pay a nominal fee as the entry amount. The museum offers you in depth information about the history and culture of Sri Lanka. We recommend you to visit the museum before you climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress. That way, you will be able to appreciate the historical significance of the rock.

Hot Air Balloon Ride In Sigiriya

You can go on a hot air balloon ride from November to April. The rest of the time is marked by occasional rainfall, so it would be next to impossible to fly at that time. The views of the sunset and the surrounding jungles are truly incredibly from up there. Make sure to pre-book a balloon ride with a tour operator early to avoid last-minute hassles.

    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.

    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.
