Anuradhapura good for spiritual travels and Sigiriya good for travelers who wants to get cultural & hiking experience - Anuradhapura is a very calm place to everyone how is looking for spiritual tours. Specifically Ruwanwalimahasaya give very calm feeling in morning and evening time. I can't explain it in words. Actually everyone wants to get that feeling in there. Secondly Sigiriya, is a amazing place with lots of ruins. You all can take many photos in Sigiriya. Sun rise in top of the lion rock is supeb.

Unique and sporting experience - An ascent of more than 1000 steps to the summit. A sporty walk, but worth the detour. An exceptional and unique view. A return to history full of emotions. FABULOUS!!!

Breathtaking - It's THE thing to do in Sri Lanka and perhaps the most impressive place. This 370m red and ocher monolith is worth the trip. You have to go there as early as possible to avoid the crowds and the hot weather. Then, take your time to climb all these steps and don't look in the 2nd part after the Lion's paws. If you are prone to vertigo, avoid this last part. The view at the top is incredible and the remains of the fortress give a small idea of the megalomania of the king who took refuge there. A large swimming pool and remains of walls remain.

A must go! - The view is incredible, but you need to walk the route very calmly and measure your effort, especially because of the humidity and the narrow steps! Those who can't make it to the top can enjoy practically the same view halfway up the climb, where there is an intermediate area with a superb view. It's a shame there isn't a permanent handrail, which would help people with more difficulties. Watch out for the monkeys! Anyone who is eating something absent-mindedly runs the risk of being robbed! The same for backpacks with food inside...
