Get ready for an unforgettable climb up Sigiriya, our very own 'Lion Rock.' It's a bit of a workout with about 1,200 steps, but the journey through ancient water gardens and past stunning frescoes is just as incredible as the final view. Once you pass between the giant lion paws and make the final ascent, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views from the top of this ancient rock fortress. The whole experience, from the base to the summit and back, will take you a good 3 to 4 hours, so bring some water and take your time soaking in the history.
