Who says Sri Lanka is only about the sea? The 8th Wonder of the World is absolutely breathtaking!

✨Highlights: ✔️Perfect blend of ancient ruins and natural landscapes ✔️Breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view from the summit ✔️Life-size sculpture of The Little Prince and his beloved rose 【Must-Visit Attractions】 📍Sigiriya Rock Fortress: This sky palace is stunning beyond words! Arrive by 7am to avoid crowds and intense sun (bring plenty of water and a portable fan). The climb gets steep halfway (you'll need both hands and feet), but the ancient cliff frescoes make it totally worth it! Don't miss the iconic Lion's Paw platform for epic photos! 🦁 🎫Tickets: $30 for adults/$15 for students (ID required) Guided tours ~5000 LKR 💡Pro tips: 1. Wear anti-slip sports shoes! The steps are steep and narrow 2. Allow 3 hours total (2 hours for climbing) 3. Nearby dining: Queen's Cafe (try their unique pineapple curry) 4. Bring sun protection - the final stretch has no shade 5. Must descend before 4pm (trust me on this) 🥗Local Eats: Coconut milk crab curry at Royal Spicy Restaurant Buffet at Hotel Ancient Village (super fresh fruits) 🏡Stay Recommendations: Jetwing Vil Uyana (private pool villas) Heritance Kandalama (luxury jungle resort) When sunset paints the entire rock golden, you'll know every step was worth it!
