Best done with a guide to tell you all about the history and explain what you are seeing. All-in-all very impressive. Practical notes: it is a long climb up many stone steps to get there, so take plenty of water and wear good shoes. For the temples, ladies must cover their shoulders and legs, and everyone must take off their shoes - take a pair of socks with you if not already wearing them, as some of the pavings are outdoors and red hot!

1km from sigiriya rick you can go to this cave temple (hiharaya). Once you climb the pidurangala rock you will come across this. This is old as 1-2 BC, but this was properly built by king kashshapa (473-495 AC). The place was a buddhist monastery. According to the history king kashshapa requested the monks to move to this place as he wanted to build sigiriya. This is just as very small version of dambulla cave temple.
