It's less crowded than the southern beaches but just as beautiful — perfect for travelers who prefer a slower pace.

Often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” Sigiriya is a must-visit for any traveler in Sri Lanka. Rising nearly 200 meters above the plains, this ancient rock fortress was once the royal palace of King Kashyapa. As you ascend the stone steps, you’ll pass beautifully preserved frescoes, the iconic Mirror Wall, and the majestic lion’s paws guarding the final climb. But it’s not just the history — the view from the top is nothing short of breathtaking. Sigiriya isn’t just a place; it’s an experience that stays with you.
