What To Expect
Sigiriya Lion Rock
We are not allowed to fly very close to Sigiriya Lion Rock since it's an archaeological site. Usually, we watch it, but not very closely. Depending on the flight path, you may have a panoramic view of the iconic Sigiriya Rock, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rising dramatically from the surrounding plains.
Dambulla
Enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Sri Lankan countryside, with its lush greenery, vibrant fields, and meandering rivers.
