This museum represents the cultural, technological and archeological value of Sigiriya. The Sigiriya Museum allows its visitors to explore three decades of archeological research on Sigiriya. The design of the Sigiriya museum was inspired by the complex design systems evident in Sigiriya itself. Most importantly the cleaver use of water, where it both enhances the beauty and quality of the environment as well as the conservation of it for the purpose of irrigation is been replicated here at the Sigiriya Museum.

Stop At: Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress, Sigiriya 21120 Sri Lanka
Sigiriya is the most exquisite example of ancient Sri Lankan art, architecture and landscaping. Built over 1, 600 years ago, the now sinister-looking 600 ft high black rock once appeared like a massive dazzling white cloud floating above the surrounding forests. Its sides were painted with beautiful frescoes of semi-naked nymphs. A large gatehouse in the form of a lion guarded the entrance to the innermost sanctum of the city – the Sky Palace on top of the rock. Sigiriya burst briefly into pre-eminence and was then abandoned and lay hidden in the forests for nearly 1, 500 years. The climb to the top is strenuous but it is worth it. Definitely a must visit site!

I can’t find words to describe how amazing this trip was. Aron and the team at apple vacation went above and beyond for us during this trip. Aron took the time to explain as much as he knew about the places that we visited and ensure that we felt confortable through the entire ride. It was a long 15 hour day as we ended up doing so much but it was worth it. Totally recommend it.Car is normal. Driver is nice and driving skill is good. The visit of two places went well. The driver gave enough time for us to see things we want. The lunch place is okay too. Good choice for visiting the palace on the rock.

Not really a guided tour--more and escorted one. You're driven around but really on your own for information.

Yesterday we went on a day excursion with Johny to Sigiriya world heritage site and temple in Dambulla. This has been one of the best tours we've been on. Visit to Sigiriya was by far the most scenic and breath taking, highly recommend this as one of your visits in Sri Lanka. Do note it is an all day event and involves a lot of walking. That said it was an amazing day. Lastly, this trip from Colombo which started from 5am only got better because of our driver/guide Johny.
