Sigiriya (Lion Rock) "is famous for its palace ruins on top of a massive 200 meter high rock surrounded by the remains of an extensive network of gardens, reservoirs and other structures. The rock itself is a lava plug left over from an ancient long extinct volcano." (quote from Wikitravel.com). The complex around the rock and on the summit was built in the 5th century, to serve as a capital, but soon after that Anuradhapura was restored as Sri Lanka's capital and Sigiriya was used as Buddhist monastery until the 14th century. Sigiriya is inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage site, it is the most visited place in Sri Lanka.
In the second part of the video you will see another impressive rock in the vicinity - Pidurangala - and views from its top to Sigirija.

Sigiriya Rock Sri Lanka
Sigiriya History
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress of Sri Lanka is situated in Matale district near to Dambulla. It can be reached along Colombo- Habarana highway and turning towards East from Inamaluwa. Then proceeding about 10 km from Inamaluwa and passing Kimbissa township one arrives at Sigiriya.
Before Sigiriya became a Kingdom, the Sigiriya Rock base and the places such as Pidurangala which were endowed with many Caves and a temple had been dwelled by Buddhist monks from around 3rd Century BC. It is also found that these areas had been inhabitant by people prior to King Kassapa's rein. Many Caves also have Brahmi Inscriptions dating back from 3rd Century BC to 1st century AD.
After King Mahanama who ruled Anuradhapura from 410- 432 AD, a Prince named Dhatusena became the King of Anuradhapura in 459 AD, defeating the Indian invader 'Pandu'. The King Dhatusena was the ruler who constructed Kala Wewa or the Kala Wewa Tank, by building a dam across Kala Oya , which is a small river type. The man made 54 mile long Yoda Ela, which takes water from Kala Wewa to Tissa wewa is considered as an Irrigation engineering wonder even at the present day. It has a gradient of just 6 inches per mile along the first 17 miles , which means the level different is just over 8 feet even after the 17 th mile along the canal. During his rein the famous full relief Aukana Buddha statue also was constructed out of a rock which stands 42 feet high.
He had two sons from two queens. Mugalan [ also called as Moggallana ] from the head queen and Kassapa's [ also called as Kashyapa ] from a companion queen. Prince Kashyapa, with the help of the general of the army of King Dhatusena, named Migara, got his father killed and became the King. Prince Mugalan, fearing for his life, escaped to India. The Buddhist Bhikkus and the people were against his conduct and favoured Price Mugalan for the rulership. Fearing that Mugalan will come with an army from India to avenge him at a later day, King Kassapa decided to make Sigiriya as his kingdom. During his rule of eighteen years from 477 AD to 495 AD Sigiriya Kingdom was created. It is believed that he sought the refuge of Sigiriya rock for his safety fearing for his life.
After 18 years, Prince Mugalan came with an army from India to fight with King Kassapa. During the battle Kassapa killed himself thus Mugalan became the King. He went back to Anuradhapura and ruled the country from there and handed over Sigiriya back to the Buddhist priests. Sigiriya as a Kingdom was abandoned in around 1150 AD and was almost forgotten for the next seven centuries Though King Kashyapa is not regarded in high esteem in Sri Lankan history due to his dubious conduct, he is credited as a ruler with unsurpassed imagination put into reality to create a Sri Lankan style marvel of high calibre art and engineering skills that could even challange the outer world structures at that time, which definitely is amazing even in the 21st century with whatever is remaining as ruins of Sigiriya.

The Sigiriya Rock Fortress, situated in Matale district near to Dambulla, was built by King Kasyapa in the 5th century A.D. and was a royal citadel for more than 18 years. The royal palace built on the flat top of a rock with a terrace, a mirror wall and water gardens is on par with the best in the ancient world, and constitute a magnificent and unique architectural feat of the ancient Sinhalese. Through the Famous Lion gate are the famous Sigiriya frescoes, the earliest surviving pictorial art of Sri Lanka and of the same period as the Ajantha frescoes of India.
Already recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, still there is no designated world authority to bestow the honour upon Sigiriya- Kasyapa's fortified palace and city as a 'world wonder'. However, it would indeed not be an exaggeration to call this architectural marvel "the eighth wonder of the world" in the island of Sri Lanka.".

Sigiriya
Sigiriya (Lion Rock Sinhalese: සීගිරිය, Tamil: சிகிரியா, pronounced see-gi-ri-yə) is an ancient palace located in the central Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavamsa, this site was selected by King Kasyapa (477 – 495 CE) for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure —Sīhāgiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and the royal palace was abandoned after the king's death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.
Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning. It is the most visited historic site in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka (/sriːˈlɑːŋkə, -ˈlæŋkə/ or 
i/ʃriː-/;Sinhalese - ශ්රී ලංකාව, Tamil Ilaṅkai), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known from the beginning of British colonial rule until 1972 as Ceylon (/sᵻˈlɒnˌ seɪ-ˌ siː-/), is an island country in South Asia near south-east India.
Sri Lanka has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest. Its documented history spans 3,000 years, with evidence of pre-historic human settlements dating back to at least 125,000 years. Its geographic location and deep harbours made it of great strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to World War II.
A diverse and multicultural country, Sri Lanka is home to many religions, ethnic groups, and languages. In addition to the majority Sinhalese, it is home to large groups of Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils, Moors, Burghers, Malays, Kaffirs and the aboriginal Vedda. Sri Lanka has a rich Buddhist heritage, and the first known Buddhist writings of Sri Lanka, the Pāli Canon, dates back to the Fourth Buddhist council in 29 BC. The country's recent history has been marred by a thirty-year civil war which decisively ended when Sri Lankan military defeated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in 2009.

Lanka
Lanka /ˈlæŋkə/ (Sanskrit lankā "island") is the name given in Hindu mythology to the island fortress capital of the legendary demon king Ravana in the epics of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The fortress was situated on a plateau between three mountain peaks known as the Trikuta Mountains. The ancient city of Lankapura is thought to have been burnt down by Hanuman. After its king, Ravana, was killed by Rama with the help of his brother Vibhishana, the latter was crowned king of Lankapura. The mythological site of Lankā is identified with Sri Lanka. His descendants were said to still rule the kingdom during the period of the Pandavas. According to the Mahabharata, the Pandava Sahadeva visited this kingdom during his southern military campaign for the rajasuya of Yudhishthira.

Sigiriya History
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress of Sri Lanka is situated in Matale district near to Dambulla. It can be reached along Colombo- Habarana highway and turning towards East from Inamaluwa. Then proceeding about 10 km from Inamaluwa and passing Kimbissa township one arrives at Sigiriya.
Before Sigiriya became a Kingdom, the Sigiriya Rock base and the places such as Pidurangala which were endowed with many Caves and a temple had been dwelled by Buddhist monks from around 3rd Century BC. It is also found that these areas had been inhabitant by people prior to King Kassapa's rein. Many Caves also have Brahmi Inscriptions dating back from 3rd Century BC to 1st century AD.
After King Mahanama who ruled Anuradhapura from 410- 432 AD, a Prince named Dhatusena became the King of Anuradhapura in 459 AD, defeating the Indian invader 'Pandu'. The King Dhatusena was the ruler who constructed Kala Wewa or the Kala Wewa Tank, by building a dam across Kala Oya , which is a small river type. The man made 54 mile long Yoda Ela, which takes water from Kala Wewa to Tissa wewa is considered as an Irrigation engineering wonder even at the present day. It has a gradient of just 6 inches per mile along the first 17 miles , which means the level different is just over 8 feet even after the 17 th mile along the canal. During his rein the famous full relief Aukana Buddha statue also was constructed out of a rock which stands 42 feet high.
He had two sons from two queens. Mugalan [ also called as Moggallana ] from the head queen and Kassapa's [ also called as Kashyapa ] from a companion queen. Prince Kashyapa, with the help of the general of the army of King Dhatusena, named Migara, got his father killed and became the King. Prince Mugalan, fearing for his life, escaped to India. The Buddhist Bhikkus and the people were against his conduct and favoured Price Mugalan for the rulership. Fearing that Mugalan will come with an army from India to avenge him at a later day, King Kassapa decided to make Sigiriya as his kingdom. During his rule of eighteen years from 477 AD to 495 AD Sigiriya Kingdom was created. It is believed that he sought the refuge of Sigiriya rock for his safety fearing for his life.
After 18 years, Prince Mugalan came with an army from India to fight with King Kassapa. During the battle Kassapa killed himself thus Mugalan became the King. He went back to Anuradhapura and ruled the country from there and handed over Sigiriya back to the Buddhist priests. Sigiriya as a Kingdom was abandoned in around 1150 AD and was almost forgotten for the next seven centuries Though King Kashyapa is not regarded in high esteem in Sri Lankan history due to his dubious conduct, he is credited as a ruler with unsurpassed imagination put into reality to create a Sri Lankan style marvel of high calibre art and engineering skills that could even challange the outer world structures at that time, which definitely is amazing even in the 21st century with whatever is remaining as ruins of Sigiriya.

Sigiriya History
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress of Sri Lanka is situated in Matale district near to Dambulla. It can be reached along Colombo- Habarana highway and turning towards East from Inamaluwa. Then proceeding about 10 km from Inamaluwa and passing Kimbissa township one arrives at Sigiriya.
Before Sigiriya became a Kingdom, the Sigiriya Rock base and the places such as Pidurangala which were endowed with many Caves and a temple had been dwelled by Buddhist monks from around 3rd Century BC. It is also found that these areas had been inhabitant by people prior to King Kassapa's rein. Many Caves also have Brahmi Inscriptions dating back from 3rd Century BC to 1st century AD.
After King Mahanama who ruled Anuradhapura from 410- 432 AD, a Prince named Dhatusena became the King of Anuradhapura in 459 AD, defeating the Indian invader 'Pandu'. The King Dhatusena was the ruler who constructed Kala Wewa or the Kala Wewa Tank, by building a dam across Kala Oya , which is a small river type. The man made 54 mile long Yoda Ela, which takes water from Kala Wewa to Tissa wewa is considered as an Irrigation engineering wonder even at the present day. It has a gradient of just 6 inches per mile along the first 17 miles , which means the level different is just over 8 feet even after the 17 th mile along the canal. During his rein the famous full relief Aukana Buddha statue also was constructed out of a rock which stands 42 feet high.
He had two sons from two queens. Mugalan [ also called as Moggallana ] from the head queen and Kassapa's [ also called as Kashyapa ] from a companion queen. Prince Kashyapa, with the help of the general of the army of King Dhatusena, named Migara, got his father killed and became the King. Prince Mugalan, fearing for his life, escaped to India. The Buddhist Bhikkus and the people were against his conduct and favoured Price Mugalan for the rulership. Fearing that Mugalan will come with an army from India to avenge him at a later day, King Kassapa decided to make Sigiriya as his kingdom. During his rule of eighteen years from 477 AD to 495 AD Sigiriya Kingdom was created. It is believed that he sought the refuge of Sigiriya rock for his safety fearing for his life.
After 18 years, Prince Mugalan came with an army from India to fight with King Kassapa. During the battle Kassapa killed himself thus Mugalan became the King. He went back to Anuradhapura and ruled the country from there and handed over Sigiriya back to the Buddhist priests. Sigiriya as a Kingdom was abandoned in around 1150 AD and was almost forgotten for the next seven centuries Though King Kashyapa is not regarded in high esteem in Sri Lankan history due to his dubious conduct, he is credited as a ruler with unsurpassed imagination put into reality to create a Sri Lankan style marvel of high calibre art and engineering skills that could even challange the outer world structures at that time, which definitely is amazing even in the 21st century with whatever is remaining as ruins of Sigiriya.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gpn6mgvfps
The Sigiriya Rock Fortress, situated in Matale district near to Dambulla, was built by King Kasyapa in the 5th century A.D. and was a royal citadel for more than 18 years. The royal palace built on the flat top of a rock with a terrace, a mirror wall and water gardens is on par with the best in the ancient world, and constitute a magnificent and unique architectural feat of the ancient Sinhalese. Through the Famous Lion gate are the famous Sigiriya frescoes, the earliest surviving pictorial art of Sri Lanka and of the same period as the Ajantha frescoes of India.
Already recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, still there is no designated world authority to bestow the honour upon Sigiriya- Kasyapa's fortified palace and city as a 'world wonder'. However, it would indeed not be an exaggeration to call this architectural marvel "the eighth wonder of the world" in the island of Sri Lanka.".

Travel Sri Lanka - Visiting the Lion Rock of Sigiriya
Take a tour of Lion Rock of Sigiriya in Sigiriya, Sri Lanka -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. One of the most remarkable fortresses in the world, visible above trees and buildings for miles around, is in Sri Lanka. This is Lion Rock, which once had a carved lion guarding the stairs, the paws of which are still visible. The stairwell leading up the rock has ancient painted murals, many featuring images of beautiful women. These frescoes date back many centuries and were, at one time, part of a much larger display covering hundreds of feet. On top of the Lion Rock are the remains of the fortress palace that once stood there overlooking the area. Surrounding Lion Rock are several beautiful gardens including a water garden, rock gar...

SRI LANKA TOURIST GUIDE - #4 of 12
For my forth country of the year, I flew over to Sri Lanka, starting in the capital, Colombo. After a day on the road, I found myself in the stunning surroundings of Dambulla, where I wasted no time in trekking the Sri Lankan jungle. We then spent some time in Sigiriya, relaxing in the Jetwing hotel and seeing elephants on safari! After another long journey up to the North of the country, we spent a week on the beaches of Trincomalee, where we saw dolphins, whales and I indulged in a spot of jetskiing. But before going home, I had to experience one of the most famous Sri Lankan delicacies, it's tea, in Kandy.

Sigiriya Rock Fortress + Spice Garden | Sri Lanka Vlog #002
Our hotel overlooks what our tour guide calls, “the eighth wonder of the world”. Sirigiya Rock Fortress is a world heritage site, built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century. It is nicknamed the ‘Lion Rock’, and rising 200 meters from the jungle, it comes at no surprise that people travel from far and wide to climb it. Once upon a time, King Kashyapa chose to build his palace upon the fortress, which was surrounded by a moat, rampart, and gardens. He also chose to decorate it’s sides with colourful frescoes of the ‘Heavenly Maidens of Sigiriya’. People who would visit these frescoes would then write on ‘The Wall of Mirrors’, poems and sonnets of the beauty their have just witnessed. After the King’s passing, the palace and grounds were deserted and later used as a Buddhist monastery until ...

Driftwood VLOG Sri Lanka
Sigiriya is one of the main sights in Sri Lanka and like Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa part of the cultural Golden Tringle. It is near the city of Dambulla pretty much in the middle of Sri Lanka. It is easy to get there by bus from Dambulla which costs around 30 cent (LKR40) or you can book a TukTuk for the whole trip which will cost you around 10 Euros (LKR1600). The last bus back is around five and we had started our journey late so we decided to take a tuktuk. The tourist tuktuks are not only more expensive but also the drivers are not necessarily the friendliest so be sure to ask around. We found such an amazing guide Shan! He was the sweetest man and very happy that he got the chance to drive us to Sigiriya.
We decided to not actually climb up Sigirya, but the mountain next to it. One reason is the entrance fee of 25 Euros (LKR 4.000) LKR and the other is the masses of other tourists walking up Sigiriya. The entrance to the mountain “Pidurangala” was just about 1,20 (LKR200) and our driver Shan thought it was such a good idea he even climbed up with us. First we looked at a little church on the way there and halfway to the top is a giant brick Buddha. The climb was a little tricky in some parts, don’t do it if you are afraid of heights, but when we reached the top, it was so worth it! We had a stunning view of Sigirya and the nature around it. Moreover, there were only a few other people around. We took our time to take in the breathtaking view and climbed back down. Getting up and down took us about 20 minuntes each way. After the trip, Shan took us to see his family and we had tea with his brothers and sisters. We were super lucky that day!

Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), a tiny island nation south of India in the Indian Ocean, is a rugged land of rainforest, diverse wildlife and endless beaches. It’s famed for its ancient Buddhist ruins, including the 5th-century citadel Sigiriya, with its palace and frescoes, and the sacred city of Anuradhapura. Its flavorful cuisine reflects its history as a maritime hub and cultural melting pot.
This video presents some of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. We hope this will be useful for anyone seeking for travel ideas to plan a holiday in Sri Lanka.
Listing {
1. Nilaveli Beach- Nilaveli is considered one of Sri Lanka’s most perfect beaches. It certainly has that feeling of paradise-island remoteness, with plenty of bending palms swaying over the golden sand.
2. Sigiriya / Seegiriya AKA Lion Rock- An ancient palace well known for its Frescoes and the Mirror Wall. Sigiriya is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site.
3. Kandy- Temple of the Tooth- Sri Dalada Maligawa or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a Buddhist temple in the city of Kandy.
4. Horton Plains National Park- A protected area in the central highlands of Sri Lanka and is covered by montane grassland and cloud forest.
5. Dambulla cave temple AKA Golden Temple of Dambulla is a World Heritage Site (1991) in Sri Lanka.
6. Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage- An orphanage, nursery and captive breeding ground for wild Asian elephants.
7. Anuradhapura- The Anuradhapura Kingdom was the first established kingdom in ancient Sri Lanka.
8. Yala National Park- Yala National Park is the most visited national park in Sri Lanka.
9. Adam's Peak AKA Samanalakanda- This is a 2,243 m tall conical mountain located in central Sri Lanka.

Take a tour of Lion Rock of Sigiriya in Sigiriya, Sri Lanka -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
One of the most remarkable fortresses in the world, visible above trees and buildings for miles around, is in Sri Lanka.
This is Lion Rock, which once had a carved lion guarding the stairs, the paws of which are still visible.
The stairwell leading up the rock has ancient painted murals, many featuring images of beautiful women.
These frescoes date back many centuries and were, at one time, part of a much larger display covering hundreds of feet.
On top of the Lion Rock are the remains of the fortress palace that once stood there overlooking the area.
Surrounding Lion Rock are several beautiful gardens including a water garden, rock garden, and a terraced garden.

For my forth country of the year, I flew over to Sri Lanka, starting in the capital, Colombo. After a day on the road, I found myself in the stunning surroundings of Dambulla, where I wasted no time in trekking the Sri Lankan jungle. We then spent some time in Sigiriya, relaxing in the Jetwing hotel and seeing elephants on safari! After another long journey up to the North of the country, we spent a week on the beaches of Trincomalee, where we saw dolphins, whales and I indulged in a spot of jetskiing. But before going home, I had to experience one of the most famous Sri Lankan delicacies, it's tea, in Kandy.

Sri Lanka is an island country in South East Asia which has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest.
After a 30 year long civil war which ended in 2009 the diverse country is now opening up more an more for tourism.
The goal of this series is to give you an introduction to the country and the neighboring Maldives starting with Sri Lankas tea region, temples and the rock fortress of sigiriya in this episode.
After arrival we are traveling from Colombo to Kandy by train to take in all the impressive views along the way. In Kandy I go on a river excursion to spot birds along the Mahaweli river before visiting the temple of the tooth in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy.
The tea region around Nuwara Eliya is close to Kandy - you should go there by taking the train from Kandy to Ella. Make sure to visit a tea factory, too!
In the north of Central Sri Lanka the Lion Rock Sigiriya is definitely a Must-Visit. Another one is the Ancient City of Polonnaruwa and the Kaudulla National Park.
This part of the trip was executed within 2weeks by using tuk tuk, buses, boats and trains - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in Central Sri Lanka:
- Mahaweli River
- Kandy
- Temple of the Tooth
- train from Kandy to Ella
- Nuwara Eliya & tea factories
- Dambulla
- Sigiriya & scenic flight
- Ancient City of Polonnaruwa
- Kaudulla National Park
I'm excited to share all my experiences in Sri Lanka & the Maldives over the course of the next 3-4 weeks with you. In the next episodes I will take you to the south and east coast of Sri Lanka - we will go on an leopard safari, will eat the local street food and enjoy the beaches in Trincomalee as well as Arugam Bay.

Our hotel overlooks what our tour guide calls, “the eighth wonder of the world”. Sirigiya Rock Fortress is a world heritage site, built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century. It is nicknamed the ‘Lion Rock’, and rising 200 meters from the jungle, it comes at no surprise that people travel from far and wide to climb it.
Once upon a time, King Kashyapa chose to build his palace upon the fortress, which was surrounded by a moat, rampart, and gardens. He also chose to decorate it’s sides with colourful frescoes of the ‘Heavenly Maidens of Sigiriya’. People who would visit these frescoes would then write on ‘The Wall of Mirrors’, poems and sonnets of the beauty their have just witnessed.
After the King’s passing, the palace and grounds were deserted and later used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.
On the next day of our trip, we visited a spice garden in Matale where we learnt about plants and spices; and even got to try out some homemade recipes.
