Sigiriya – As We Travel Lk

Sigiriya, an ancient rock fortress nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural marvel. Rising majestically 200 meters above the surrounding lush greenery, it commands attention with its sheer grandeur and historical significance. Dating back to the 5th century AD, Sigiriya served as a royal citadel for King Kasyapa, who chose this formidable rock as the site for his palace complex. Its strategic location atop a massive monolithic rock made it an impregnable fortress, providing both protection and a sense of dominance over the surrounding landscape.

The awe-inspiring ascent to Sigiriya unfolds a journey through time and culture. As visitors traverse the ancient stairways, flanked by intricate frescoes depicting celestial maidens known as “Sigiriya maidens,” they are transported to an era of artistic brilliance and sophistication. The summit unveils the remnants of the once opulent palace, offering panoramic views of the surrounding plains and distant mountains, a testament to the strategic vision of its creators. Beyond its military and architectural significance, Sigiriya holds a cultural legacy, blending elements of Buddhist and Hindu iconography with the natural beauty of its surroundings, creating a sanctuary that continues to captivate the imagination of visitors from around the world.

  Fast, reliable, punctual and super friendly! Rehan was great and made our trip so much more relaxed since we didn't need to depend on tuk tuks and buses. He was very flexible and helped us improve our custom itinerary even more. Apart from driving, he also joined us on certain attractions to provide us an overview of the history and culture of Sri Lanka which we truly appreciated. I would recommend As we travel lk to anyone looking to book a tour in Sri Lanka.

  We booked a tour with Rehan and had an amazing experience. He was very friendly, reliable and knowledgeable about Sri Lanka. We couldn’t have seen so much of the country without him and he also provided us with tips and suggestions for our itinerary. The car was super spacious, comfortable and had an AC. Rehan helped us also with booking the activities and tickets for temples, trains, safaris etc. If we come back to Sri Lanka, we will definitely travel with him again, as it’s much easier than using public transport and Tuk Tuks to go around :)
