Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
A trip to Sri Lanka just wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Sigiriya. One of the most recognizable sites in the country, this important archeological discovery is an awesome site.
This giant rock has been used as a dwelling since prehistoric times. Civilizations have popped over the years and dating back to the 3rd Century BC, monks used this rock as a monastery. Over time it has been used as many things with civilizations being built at its base and structures erected on its top.
There is an interesting museum that is free to visitors.
Be prepared for a hefty price. Sigiriya’s entrance fee is $25 U.S. dollars per person
You can reach Sigirya by catching a bus to Dambulla from Kandy and then transferring to another local bus to Sigirya. Total cost is less than $2 and takes about 3 hours.

Another stunning photo! Also a very unusual rock formation – it’s interesting that the striations are vertical instead of what we usually see, horizontal. Any idea how this ‘rock’ came to be?
