Another early morning and long drive - but very well worth the visit. Once our driver had got us there he sort out a guide; who stayed with us the entire time explaining everything as we walked through the grounds, and as we started the climb up Sigiriya. Other helpers are also about to help if you need it as you start to make the climb. My husband - who had a replacement knee 18 months prior, and his other knee is a little dodgey - found the steps challenging, but with help from a helper he managed to make it half way. He was still able to see for miles around. I made the 1202 steps with my guide who didn't stop talking about the place - the knowledge he had! The views from the top were absoultly amazing. Coming down was a little tricky/scary as you can see much more around you, but with the guide never leaving your side - it made you feel very safe. Just to note - the guide/helpers make the trips up/down Sigiriya daily and are only paid from what the tourists give them. We felt their knowledge, undersatnding of the place, able to answer any questions just added to our trip. Having them around certainly made the day. From Sigiriya our driver took us onto Dambulla temple. Again you could have a guide, but we decided to let our driver, Dinish, explain/chat to us as we went round. We must say that doing both trips, as they both require a lot of walking up steps is tiring on the calf muscles! Oh and don't forget to take a water bottle and your camera - our guide eneded up taking loads of pictures for us...Sigiriya and Dambulla are well worth the long trip from Talpe (Ayurveda Paragon Hotel). The driver was punctual with the pick-up. The tour guides were all very knowledgeable. There was a very pleasant surprise event organized for my birthday. Thank you so much!

The tour was very good and everything, like meals and tour guides, was prepared by Sam and BTM and was included in the fee.
