The tour typically begins with the customer arriving at the base of Sigiriya Rock in the morning, usually after a drive through the scenic Sri Lankan countryside.

Upon arrival, guests will purchase entry tickets and be given an introduction to Sigiriya's history, which includes its role as a royal palace and fortress built by King Kashyapa in the 5th century. They will be informed about the climbing route and safety measures.

Base and Gardens: Before ascending, customers will walk through beautiful water gardens, boulder gardens, and moat systems, which are part of the archaeological complex.

As they ascend, customers will stop to admire the Frescoes of Sigiriya, famous for their vibrant depiction of women and nature. These are located halfway up the rock.

The next significant feature is the Lion’s Gate – a grand entrance shaped like a lion’s paws.

At the top, visitors will experience panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the jungle, ponds, and other nearby mountains. The remnants of the ancient palace, including water fountains, living spaces, and royal baths, are explored.

After exploring the top, customers will descend, and they may visit the museum at the base, which displays artifacts from the site.

After Sigiriya, the next destination is usually the Dambulla Cave Temple.

Golden Temple: Customers first visit the Golden Temple, an iconic Buddhist temple with a giant golden Buddha statue visible from afar. They can take pictures here before heading to the main temple complex.

Climbing to the Caves: Visitors will walk or hike up a slight incline to reach the Dambulla Cave Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The caves are built into a vast rock, and the climb is typically short but can be steep.

Exploring the Cave Temples: There are five main caves that house numerous Buddhist statues and paintings. The most famous is the Cave of the Great Kings, with its massive Buddha statues and ancient murals. Customers can marvel at the intricate wall paintings, some dating back over 2,000 years, depicting the life of the Buddha.


After exploring the caves, customers typically descend and have an opportunity to shop for souvenirs or visit a nearby spice garden before heading to their next activity.
