A must visit place in Sri Lanka - Sigiri is such a cool spot to check out in Sri Lanka! It's super old and has some awesome drawings and pictures. Plus, there are ancient scripts to see. And let's not forget about the amazing water technology in Sigiri. I had a great time exploring with some wonderful company, and the guests with me were fantastic too. We had a blast discovering everything together!

A place to see absolutely, but... - Unesco World Heritage Site... a place that is definitely worth a visit if you are in fair health and suitable shoes (no slippers). The view once at the top is remarkable. There are two criticisms... too many people (admitted at the same time) and this creates a great queue and being narrow you can not climb at your pace. The price is exaggerated... $35 per person.

Great small group trip to Sri Lanka with Asia (Ceylan Intimiste) in 13 days 10 nights - It is a superb trip where you visit many things, both cultural and very nature. The days are full but well balanced. Our guide (Sanjaya Semasinghe) made this trip a wonderful experience! Thank you and congratulations!

Amazing experience & would highly recommend - We had a fantastic time, but it is really high and quite scary if you’re afraid of heights! We went to see the painting which closes at 5:30, so make sure you go in good time for this. There was a huge queue walking up the rock and we were therefore stood in the middle of the steps for a while waiting for some people to walk. We were almost late to see the painting.
Would also recommend coming without anything to carry in your hands so that you can hold the rails, and also wear trainers or secure shoes and avoid sandals or loose flip flop type footwear; we saw some people lose their flip flop whilst walking up!
Also, bring some water as you’ll be thirsty after doing all those steps & tie your hair back if you have long hair; it’s really windy at the top!
Amazing experience though and would highly recommend

Great attraction - limited facilities - The cliff is very nice, views fantastic - here can not be exaggerated.
There are many steps, and when we were there in February, it was 32 degrees - and it could get warmer.
We were there on a holiday, and there were a lot of locals.
Remember water for we saw no opportunity to buy anything along the way.

Very crowded - Very crowded, packed with tourists. Went too early only to see the views covered with fog and mist. It seems like the rock opposite has a better view

Disproportionate price - Unfortunately all the beauty and wonder of the place is ruined by the cost of admission: for foreign tourists over $34. Absurd figure and totally pluckers.
I wouldn't do that again.
