Marvel at Sigiriya Rock, a granite outcrop rising from scrubland areas that transform into water gardens during the rainy season. Then, climb the metal steps to the rocktop: home to a ruined fifth-century fortress. View the frescoes en route and explore the relics on the summit, the remnants of a royal citadel built by King Kasyapa.

Take a visit to Sigiriya village. It’s not merely a walk only but an authentic encounter with the local village folk; experiencing their lifestyles, their culture and their hospitality. By authentic we mean it’s a true village scenario, not one set up as a tourist attraction. You will be warmly welcomed and provided a cup of Ceylon herbal tea with a piece of Jaggery. The main activities to do in this village are, ride in a bullock cart, boat ride, taste a traditional Sri Lankan lunch and have tuk tuk ride.
