Tour Plan
• Sigiriya, also called Lion Rock Situated in central Sri Lanka consisting of the ruins of an ancient stronghold that was built in the late 5th century on a remarkable monolithic rock pillar. Sigiriya was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982. The rock, which is so steep that its top overhangs the sides, rises to an elevation of 1,144 feet above Sea level and is some 600 feet above the surrounding plain. The Sinhalese king Kashyapa built a palace in the shape of a monumental lion on the several acres of ground at the summit, intending it to be a safeguard against his enemies. However, the king was defeated in 495, and the palace fell into ruin. The site soon became a pilgrimage destination, however, and it is now a popular tourist spot. Visitors begin the final ascent to the top through the open paws of the lion, one of the few remaining portions of the palace that are still intact.
• A village where trees outnumber people and enjoy a trek across natural trails
• After arriving to hiriwadunna, you can start a village trail on this beautiful village
• Hiriwadunna is a beautiful village shaded on either side by a dry zone shrub forest, with unpaved gravel paths and humble village folk will give you a chance to witness the environment of a typical Sri Lankan village life and spot a few unique species of birds . A ride on a bullock cart along a dirt track and through rice paddies down to the picturesque Hiriwadunna Lake will leave you with a sense of peacefulness. This is an unforgettable experience for visitors and will most definitely be one of the places they feel most at peace, during the time spent in Sri Lanka.

We kicked off our day with a stunning trek that had us immersed in the beauty of nature while the world awoke around us. The village experience that followed was heartwarming, as we connected with locals and got a taste of their daily life, although we wished for a bit more time to explore.

Experiencing the sunrise trek at Sigiriya in Sri Lanka was a breathtaking way to start our day, as the warm hues painted the landscape in vibrant colors. The village of Hiriwadunna offered a glimpse into local life, but our transportation to and from the site could have been more comfortable. Overall, it was a refreshing combination of nature and culture that left us with lasting memories, even if a few more amenities would have enhanced the journey.
