Planning your stay

Sigiriya is in the Cultural Triangle, about four hours from Colombo. Climb the rock early in the morning to avoid the heat and the crowds, and allow time for Dambulla and a safari at Minneriya or Kaudulla. Wear good shoes for the climb, carry water, and keep a little time for the museum at the foot of the rock, which explains the site's history.

Things to do nearby

Climb Sigiriya or Pidurangala, take a safari at Minneriya, or visit the Dambulla cave temple.
