Sigiriya Rock Fortress

DAY 1: Transfer from Colombo to Sigiriya.
Climb the 5th century Sigiriya Rock Fortress which is a World Heritage Site, built by King Kashyapa (477-495). The spectacular citadel of Sigiriya rises sheer and impregnable out of the denuded plains of the dry zone, sitting atop a huge outcrop of gneiss rock towering 200m above the surrounding countryside. It is the country's most memorable single attraction - a remarkable archeological site made unforgettable by its dramatic setting. The 'Lion Rock' is a citadel of unusual beauty rising 200m from the scrub jungle. The rock was the innermost stronghold of the 70 hectare fortified town. A moat, rampart and extensive gardens including the renowned water gardens ring the base of the rock. Visit the world-renowned frescoes of the 'Heavenly Maidens' of Sigiriya, which are in a sheltered pocket of the rock approached by a spiral stairway. These frescoes are painted in earth pigments on plaster.
Lunch will be served at the Round Tour Restaurant. Transfer to Colombo for the night.
