About this experience

Board your air-conditioned vehicle from your Habarana hotel and head to Sigiriya Rock Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising 200 metres above the surrounding plains. Climb the ancient citadel, walk the mirror-wall galleries, and take in panoramic views that explain why this 5th-century royal stronghold is counted among the world's great architectural feats. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide brings the archaeological history to life at every level of the ascent.

After the fortress, step into a local Sigiriya village for a guided tour of traditional rural life, rounded off with a traditional village lunch included in your day. The afternoon takes you to Habarana Lake for a guided bird-watching session — scan the waterside greenery for bright plumage and rare species that inhabit this corner of Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle. Hotel pickup and drop-off, a 1-litre water bottle per person, and private transport throughout are all included. The full experience runs approximately 9.5 hours. Entrance tickets are not included.

Amazing panoramic view
One of the wonders of the world. Really beautiful place. climb to the top a little hard, but in the end, you feel where you are. Also, there is an amazing panoramic view that can see if you climb early in the morning.
