At the museum, you can see an intricate diorama of the site, and onwards from there, you’ll be treated to a plethora of artefacts, from tools to sculptures, jewellery, and more! There’s even a human skeleton, along with the prehistoric section with a few exhibits from the era of pre-civilisation.

We took the tour from Habarana. It was a unique experience! Our driver safely brought us to our destination and organized everything for us. Everyone was super friendly and reliable! We learned a lot about the country, culture, and people during the conversations and also received valuable tips. Absolutely recommendable! We would book again anytime!
You went where you didn't plan to go and didn't go where you planned to go. As a result, the return to Colombo was significantly delayed and we had to cancel the dinner we had booked. There's no way I'm going back to the hotel for 15 hours after I leave.
Great day trip. Sigiriya more than meets expectations and lunch was a feast. Driver Vidu helped make it memorable, a cheerful and intelligent guide, enjoyed his company. Good ambassador for Sri Lankan friendliness.
