Between the mountains ⛰️

It’s not a movie, it’s real! 😯

Nothing in Sri Lanka captures the imagination more than a 200 meter ancient rock that rises starkly above the flat central plains about three and a half hours’ drive from Colombo.

Sigiriya (say see-gih-REE-yah) has it all — a blood-stained history full of intrigue, astonishing frescoes of bare-breasted maidens painted 15 centuries ago, a wall covered in graffiti that is more than 1,000 years old and, to top it all, Asia’s oldest surviving landscape garden.

Would you travel all the way to Sri Lanka to see it?
