The Lion's Paws - Sigiriya

The main spiral stairs are hugely overcrowded, I recommend to use the entrance from the paws, it will save you hours (and sun burn :) )

kaludiya Pokuna

Reviewed By 504amanb

One of my favourite sites in Sigiriya. Took a tuk tuk from our homestay a 15/20 min journey the final part over a bumpy road leading to a broken bridge where we parted ways from our driver. Its a few minute walk to a hut where we came across 2 locals. We were asked if we would like to be joined and shown around. We opted against this expecting a casual stroll. We got to the forgotten temple and took in the serenity amongst the ruins. One of the locals found us and started showing us around explaining the history and then our stroll became more adventurous. Although there are paths he took us off the paths showing us caves and rock structures where Buddhist monks stayed. The stroll became a bit more challenging but was definitely worth it. The serenity and peace was stunning the views amazing and we got to a point where our guide told us going any higher would become dangerous, so we came back down the black lake. I enjoyed every second of this and highly recommend it.
