Sigiriya, also called Lion Rock Situated in central Sri Lanka consisting of the ruins of an ancient stronghold that was built in the late 5th century on a remarkable monolithic rock pillar. Sigiriya was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982. The rock, which is so steep that its top overhangs the sides, rises to an elevation of 1,144 feet above sea level and is some 600 feet above the surrounding plain. The Sinhalese king Kashyapa built a palace in the shape of a monumental lion on the several acres of ground at the summit, intending it to be a safeguard against his enemies. However, the king was defeated in 495, and the palace fell into ruin. The site soon became a pilgrimage destination, however, and it is now a popular tourist spot. Visitors begin the final ascent to the top through the open paws of the lion, one of the few remaining portions of the palace that are still intact.

Leaving Kandy hotel at 6:00 am in the morning to avoid the heat and the crowd who come to Sigiriya from the closest areas to the historical sites to give our clients the value of the price that they're paying to enjoy the site without noise, heat, and people. A person who goes to Sigiriya Lion Rock after 8’clock has to undergo a lot of noise, and is waiting in the queue. This is why we as an experienced tour company, organize the Sigiriya day excursion early to enjoy without any problems. And then after the excursion to Sigiriya, you can have breakfast and onthe way back to Kandy, see Dambulla Cave Temple, we can stop and come to Kandy via Matale, stopping in the tourist attractions in Matale. (Hindu Kovil, Spice Growths, Noritake Porcelain Factory) and come back to Kandy.
