SIGIRIYA

The awesome Lion Rock, the history of which dates back to around 477 AD, is a summit of almost inaccessible rock which has been the unlikely setting for a courtly paradise of elegant pavilions, amid gardens and pools, all perched 180 meters above the surrounding jungle.

The story behind the Sigiriya Rock is about a father and his two sons, Kassapa and his half-brother Moggallana, sons of King Datusena,, both wanted to seize the throne. Kassyapa, was born to a non-royal consort. Knowing that his half brother Moggallana, younger but of royal blood, would succeed him, he seized the throne, imprisoned Datusena and later killed him for not disclosing the whereabouts of his treasures.

Seven years after his ascent to the throne, Kasyapa built this rock fortress in defense of revenge attack and used it as his Royal Citadel for more than 18 years.

It’s possible to climb the rock up to about 200 meters. Along the way to the top there are the beautiful frescos, a mirror wall with its ancient egg-white and lime glaze that gleams even after 1500 years, a lion stairway, enchantingly ornamental water gardens and royal palace on the 3-acre summit. At the top there is a wonderful view, for miles and miles in all directions.

Decked with a verdant scenery, after an ascent of 1400 meters of undulating hills lies Nuwara Eliya. Set in the heart of tea- country, this city is Sri Lanka’s salubrious highest place up in the mountains. The climb takes you through stunning vistas, deep valleys and dramatic chasms, all neatly cloaked in the glistering green leaves of tea. As the climb goes on, the herb scented air grows cooler and the clouds crowning the peaks get closer.

Nuwara Eliya, also known as “Little England” is very famous for its English looking countryside, the tea plantations and the waterfalls. South of Nuwara Eliya you can visit the Hakgala Botanical Gardens, established in 1860 (second after Peradeniya Gardens, Kandy) and traveling eastwards through a landscape of thrilling waterfalls, the road dives dizzily to Haputale, which was one of tea millionaire Thomas Lipton’s favorite haunts.

Here you’ll find a natural bird sanctuary with a lot of different bird species.

It boasts an 18 hole golf course considered one of the finest and the most picturesque in Asia. This beautifully maintained town gives access to places of interest such as Horton Plains, Nature Reserves & Adams Peak. The drive up to Nuwara Eliya is considered one of the most scenic routes in Sri Lanka.
