Pidurangala Rock
2 hours
The morning is the best time to climb Pidurangala rock, for to reasons. The sunlight illuminates the wonderful large recumbent Buddha in a rock shelter only around 9.00 to 10.00am. Furthermore, the view to the spectacular Sigiriya rock is even better in the morning than in the afternoon. Pidurangala was the Buddhist monastery of the town of Sigiriya around 500 AD. Today, it's an enchanting historical site hidden in the jungle. Though one of the loveliest places on the island and very close to the tourist hub Sigiriya, Pidurangala is not yet overcrowded. It's really a breathtaking and unforgettable place to visit.The morning is the best time to climb Pidurangala rock, for to reasons.
