The mount of remembrance
Package No: FSP/004
An archaeological goldmine the Sigiriya Rock Fortress is most probably the best known site in Sri Lanka. Its mysteries yet to be deciphered and the amount of engineering and architectural knowhow needed to transform a granite monolith into a livable fortress, which also acted as a royal palace with paintings and the mirror wall being built by the paranoid king Kashyapa.
We provide a unique way to visit Sigiriya. You are picked up at your hotel and taken to Ratmalana Airport, where you will depart for Sigiriya. The iconic monolith view will come into view from a great distance away and a magnificent view from above the fortress. Once at Sigiriya you will be able to climb all the way to the top.
After the visit to Sigiriya, lunch and refreshments will follow, and then you are treated to visit yet another ancient wonder the Golden Temple at Dambulla, one of the oldest cave temples in Sri Lanka.
A quick snack break follows, with good memories and a sense of awe about the ancient civilization you are taken back to Colombo.
