A sacred pilgrimage site for 22 centuries, this cave monastery, with its five sanctuaries, is the largest, best-preserved cave-temple complex in Sri Lanka. As this is situated around around 160 km away from Colombo it might take up to 3 hours 15 mins to reach.
Sigiriya or Sinhagiri is an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. It is a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of granite rock approximately 180 m high. 30 mins from Dambulla Royal cave temple.
Pidurangala Rock is a towering rock popular as a hiking spot which is situated a few kilometers north of Sigiriya. It is a suitable destination for moderate hikes & climbs to the top of the rock and popular for panoramic views, especially of Sigiriya along with the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. There is a giant reclining Buddha statue about halfway up the rock, which is partially reconstructed out of brick. At the base of the rock is the Pidurangala Sigiri Rajamaha Viharaya which is a white temple by the road. 15 mins ride from the Sigirya rock fortress
From typical wooden elephant ornaments to the more intricately carved wooden traditional masks, Oak Ray Wood Carving boasts of one of the more comprehensive wood carving collections in Sri Lanka.

We had an excellent private tour to Sigiriya. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and stress-free from start to finish. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka, which made the long drive enjoyable. Sigiriya Rock Fortress was absolutely breathtaking, and having a private tour allowed us to explore at our own pace without feeling rushed. We also appreciated the helpful explanations about the history and local culture along the way. The vehicle was clean and air-conditioned, water was provided, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. Overall, it was a smooth, memorable experience and great value for a private tour. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sri Lanka and wanting a personalized, comfortable trip to Sigiriya.
We had an excellent private tour to Sigiriya and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and perfectly paced. Our guide was outstanding — extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, with great explanations of the history and significance of Sigiriya. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the day, and his insights really brought the site to life. This tour exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

The tour guide/driver was very nice. English is good. Very gentleman and friendly. Very helpful to my needs and a good team for my limited time.

I loved this tour and guide so much that I booked multiple tours! Excellent English!! Great sense of humor. Always on time. Looks out for the well being, comfort and enjoyment of his guests. Fantastic recommendations. Flexible and able to accommodate requests including helping me find and purchase needed products from a pharmacy and recommending local foods I never would’ve found on my own. I really enjoyed climbing the rock fortress and learning all the history. Don’t worry it’s a lovely climb with incredible views and plenty of rest stops if needed. The safari, boat ride, village tour and village lunch were INCREDIBLE!! OMG!!! I was debating between this tour and another tour company and I’m SO PLEASED that I chose this tour!! It’s not guaranteed and the safari guides do their best, but thankfully I saw a TON of elephants. The village family cooked an amazing and flavorful traditional meal and taught me how to separate rice from the hull, open coconut and shave it, and make rice flour. I think this may have been my favorite part!! The Buddhist temple was calm and serene. But mostly Sanchitha makes the tour!! He’s a fantastic guide!! I highly recommend this tour and company! I am a solo female traveler and I felt safe throughout and had a fantastic time!
Hello Maam, Thankyou so much for your lovely words. Of course it is our duty to make our guests feel like home. Your words will motivate us to facilitate our guests even better. I hope you will visit again and we meet again.
I enjoyed the trip a lot. It was fascinating to see so many elephants living in the nature park. The rock fortress climb was a great experience too. Thanks to our fantastic guide who was able to adjust the agenda we also avoided the busy times there. I recommend the visit😀

This was the best tour we had over a three week period in India and Sri Lanka. Sigiriya was an excellent experience, so beautiful and loved the ascent!! The most unique aspect of this tour was visiting the village Kayanwela where we were hosted by Erandi & Kumuduni (mother & daughter) for a farm-to-table lunch. The food was excellent, gourmet!!! The flavors and presentation were a highlight of our trip!
