One of the must-do things when in Sri Lanka is hiking to the top of Pidurangala Rock. Let us tell you right away, it's an adventure you won't forget! The hike may be a bit challenging, but the reward at the top is beyond worth it.
The initial part of the hike is quite intense, it'll feel like you're walking up thousands of stairs that never end. But the really fun part is near the end, though! You'll encounter some uphill climbs and rocky terrain, which is really fun. We're warning you, it can get quite tricky. Especially in the dark if you're planning a sunrise hike, so make sure to bring a flashlight!
Once you reach the top, you'll be greeted by panoramic views that will take your breath away. You get to enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of Sigiriya and its beautifully green surroundings, with the iconic Sigiriya Lion Rock as icing on the cake.
All in all, plan for a 2 to 3-hour adventure to give yourself the much needed time to soak it all in. So lace up your shoes, grab your gear, and get ready for an unforgettable sunrise experience at Pidurangala Rock!
