• Citadel of Sigiriya - Lion Rock
  "Awesome... But not for the faint of heart!"
  "It is worth making a special trip to see Lions Rock, easily one of the top attractions in Sri Lanka. However... Beware the guides. As we went through the gate a guide was hanging out and kinda joined us. We asked him how much to take us through and he told us what ever we felt was fair. At the end w..."e gave him 1000 LRK, which was too much but we enjoyed ourselves. However he told us it was not enough and wanted 1000 LRK more! I would say skip the guide, there is lots of informative plaques all the way up. Also beware the angry hornets. There is several huge nests of them as you climb up the Lion entrance. They come out of their hive and sting the climbers when it gets hot (after 12pm and especially in August). Note: there is a safe net house at Lions Entrance that you can get into if the hornets do attack. " More >

  "Worth the trip"
  "Went up the rock at 7AM. It was an easier climb then I had imagined but take water and remember some parts have a huge drop with not much holding you in, although I would still say it was safe. We were the only people on top when we got there so this may affect our review but It was stunning and hig..."hly enjoyable. Entrance fee was high but when you are the only ones there its well worth it. " More >
• Citadel of Sigiriya - Lion Rock
  "Very impressive"
  "Not for the faint hearted! Unfortunately that turned out to be me. A long climb to the Lion's paw with spectacular views. Amazing to think the stairs had been carved out of solid rock all those years ago. From the lion's paw it was a sheer climb up the side of the vertical rock via a metal stairway...." Many of my colleagues did however make the climb to the gardens at the top. " More >
