Legends & locals say this colossal rock was once the golden palace of Ravana, the powerful king of Lanka. History credits the brilliant, but tragic, King Kashyapa for building his magnificent fortress and pleasure gardens atop this same peak in the 5th century. Whether you follow the myth or the history, one thing is certain: the climb to the top of Sigiriya (Lion Rock) is an unforgettable journey through ancient engineering, breathtaking frescoes, and views that make you feel like you’re standing at the center of the world.
