Sigiriya day excursion

Sigiriya or Lion Rock is an ancient rock fortress located near the town of Dambulla. It is a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. This site was selected by King Kasyapa(477 – 495 BC) as his Kingdom. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. Sigiriya today is a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE and it is one of the best preserved examples of ancient civilisation. Sigiriya refuses to reveal its secrets easily, and you have to climb a series of vertiginous staircases attached to sheer walls to reach the top. On the way you pass a series of quite remarkable frescoes and a pair of colossal lion paws carved into the bedrock.
