Sigiriya

Sigiriya and its surroun ing areas are among the most visited destinations in Sri Lanka, and for good reason. Located within the famed Cultural Triangle, once known as “The Land of Kings,” this region is steeped in history and cult re. It includes the ancient relics of the Sinhalese Kingdom from Anuradhapura, the majestic ruins of Polonnaruwa, and the sacred cave temples of Dambulla.

Why Sigiriya? We recommend basing yourself in Sigiriya or Habarana, both ideal locations to explore the many wonders this region offers.
