Sigiriya is a palace and a fortress built on 600 feet tall column of rock in 477 AD ,by King Kashaypa. The citadel itself must be magnificent, as it holds proofs for amazing architecture and charming landscape, with its ruins standing still with pride, of its beauty. If you are going to visit Sri Lanka, never miss witnessing the amazing Sigiriya which is named as a UNESCO world heritage.
2.Go early as much as you can
It’s a rock! So you can’t blame Sigiriya if you feel the place is really hot. Try to reach there as early as you can. At least before 10.00 am.
Know the price
Let me be brief!It’s 30US$
Don’t skip, just climb it, No matter how old are you!
The hundreds of steps are what take you to the top. Some are really low and some are very high. If you are having leg pain or knee issues the journey might get a bit hard. Specially to elderly people and kids. But no worries! Take your time, get small breaks along the way.
I ‘ve seen old people and kids on the top. You can do it too:)Also, Sigiriya is completely safe for kids. Just make sure to stay close with your kids and hold their hand in the windy area.
Wear something comfy
It’s better to wear something light and lose as you have to climb a lot of steps.
Avoid intense bright colours, if you really bothered about those hornets up there. Researchers say that hornets have a lesser attraction to brown and black.Also don’t forget to wear something cover your toes, as the steps are bit narrow.
