YasminNovember 5, 2014Take some water going up. We didn't find anyone selling bottled water or anything for that matter.UpvoteDownvote
Julian HandJanuary 2, 2016Be quiet, take it slow, if hornets come - don't scream. The moment you kill one - others will revenge. But very rarely they appear.UpvoteDownvote

sheepieSeptember 17, 2011Frescoes of topless ladies have way up give you energy to make it to the top. Go morning or evening to avoid heat. Not good for people who are afraid of heights.Upvote1Downvote

Stanislava Stojanovic NovoselacDecember 19, 2013Really impressive, but way overpriced! 30 USD for foreign visitors!Upvote2Downvote
Alyona CheMarch 28, 2018Overpriced! I'm OK with paying 30$, but there is really nothing to see for this money...UpvoteDownvote
ВалерияAugust 25, 2017Подъем на гору не из легких, но он того стоит! Незабываемые эмоции! Подъем лучше совершать рано утром, потому как спрятаться от сонца наверху негде) Обязательно возьмите воду и оденьте удобную обувь!

Evangelina BraunMay 9, 2016Этот вид ни с чем не сравним!Остаться до заката было лучшим решением))Важно взять воду-подъем требует жидкости.Милые обезьяны могут дружелюбно усесться Вам на руку или голову,главное не трогайте их.

Gilles SuprinMarch 16, 2018À faire a tout prix si vous allez au Sri Lanka. Accrochez-vous pour son ascension, prévoyez une demi heure pour la montée si vous êtes sportif. La vue en haut vaut le coup!
UpvoteDownvote- Evangelina BraunMay 9, 2016Были всей семьёй!красивое и ухоженное место.При подъёме запаситесь водой ещё внизу.Лучше идти к закату-потрясающий вид и краски неба.Много обезьян, если возьмёте бананы удасться с ними подружиться))

VavaOctober 3, 2017Y aller tôt le matin ou vers 16h pour profiter du coucher de soleil. Cela grimpe, pas idéal pour pers souffrant de vertige. Vue mqgnifique du sommet. Prix relativement élevé.

Paula FreireJuly 10, 2016Vale a pena subir. Vista bacana, o vento com as folhas da árvores faz um barulho interessantíssimo de ondas no mar.

Eugene MatyushkinMarch 17, 2017Красиво. Нам повезло, проскочили до того как приехали дети из нескольких школ. Обязательно взять побольше воды. И до подъёма на гору не нести в руках ничего похожего на еду, а то поделитесь с обезьяноUpvoteDownvote
Александр УдаловOctober 10, 2012Красивое место. Вход 30$ - это на самом деле три билета. К подножью горы, на вверх и в музей внизу у входа. Билет ввиде дисочка DVD. Если тяжело подниматься по лестнице полно местных гидов-помощников.UpvoteDownvote

"The gardens surrounding the Sigiriya museum are worth a glance. I would otherwise continue directly to the Sigiriya rock as in my opinion the museum has nothing to offer."
Ton van 't Noordende - 8.3
"If you look carefully, a lot of the large stones have been carved. They even dug under one and installed bracing that can be quickly knocked out to cause the giant stone to roll down the hill."
Dave Mc - 7.9
"The different villas blend in perfectly with the private nature reserve. It provides a unique experience. The staff is friendly although not as accommodating as you come to expect here in Sri Lanka."
