Overview

10 hours

Mobile ticket

Pidurangala is a massive rock formation located a few kilometers north of Sigiriya in Sri Lanka. It has an interesting history closely related to that of the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Climbing to the top of Pidurangala Rock is more strenuous than climbing Sigiriya. If you are fit and adventurous it is a climb worth making. It will take you about two hours. There is far less to see on this site than Sigiriya

Sigiriya is amazing

Sigiriya is absolutely one of the great sights in the world, containing the ruins of a 5th century CE castle on a massive monolith, and surrounding gardens. Two levels of challenge- at the very top are the ruins of the palace, but for those of us who are a little less agile and energetic, half way up are 18 original fresco paintings. To make any of this possible or meaningful, get a guide in addition to the entrance fee - $US20 + a tip (minimum 5000 rupiah I think (but I find the tipping culture very confusing ) Before that we went to Dambulla Temple, an amazing Buddhist temple or series of chapels built into the rock, decorated with Buddhist statues and ceiling paintings. As well as the ticket you have to pay for someone to mind your shoes and then you walk bare footed on the one-hot rocks. There were monkeys! The tour is private and the driver is an escort rather than a guide so you need to get most of your information elsewhere. Driving is according to the cultural norm, fast, smooth, lots of overtaking and hand-held phone conversations. My driver Vilan was courteous, helpful, warm, and observant so that he didn't push me into places I wasn't interested in (much appreciated!) but helped me get the best day I could have.
