The challenging climb to the top of the ultra scenic Sigiriya Rock was just the beginning of this adventure. It also involved monkeys and being shown up by an 80+ year old grandmother. But the killer wasps will be what I remember when I think about this beautiful Sri Lankan icon.

Sigiriya also known as “Sinhagiri” or “Lion’s Rock” is an ancient rock fortress situated in Sigiriya town near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. Sigiriya rock is about 200 meters in height and is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. The rock has great historical and archaeological significance and is widely known as the eighth wonder of the world. #travel #history #hiking #ancient #traveltips #sridevi #travelphotography #traveller #traveling #archeology
