Sigiriya – The Eighth Wonder of Sri Lanka

Rising dramatically from the central plains of Sri Lanka, Sigiriya is one of the country’s most iconic and awe-inspiring landmarks. This ancient rock fortress, built in the 5th century by King Kashyapa, combines history, architecture, and natural beauty in a truly unique setting. As you ascend the rock, you pass beautifully landscaped water gardens, ancient frescoes, and the famous Lion’s Paw entrance, leading to breathtaking panoramic views from the summit. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sigiriya offers visitors an unforgettable journey into Sri Lanka’s royal past and stands as a timeless symbol of the island’s rich cultural heritage.
