Stunning views of the valley. The ascent takes about 30-35 minutes at a brisk pace. It is better to arrive early in the morning, we were at 7-10. It opens at 7-00. When we went down, there was already a crowd of tourists from the buses, I think it will be much more difficult to climb in the crowd. Lots of funny monkeys.

A beautiful place, some of the buildings and ancient frescoes have been preserved, but how Sigiriya looked before can only be imagined. The frescoes represent semi-naked women, who are forbidden to be photographed :), and special staff are vigilant about observing this rule. Be prepared for a steep climb in the heat, take plenty of water. There were water tanks in the middle of the way, but there may be queues.

Sigiriya is an ancient fortress mountain built in the 3rd century A.D. The place is worth a visit to get to know the history, culture and architecture of ancient Sri Lanka. I do not recommend taking an excursion: it is better to read the story in advance. I advise you to climb the mountain, although it's not easy in the heat and with queues. There is a very strong wind blowing at the top, and there are many pools of water. The entrance to the mountain is crowned by the paws of a lion, according to legend, the head collapsed. I also advise you to visit the museum, where frescoes from Sigiriya are on display.
