Welcome to Sigiriya — the Lion Rock Fortress — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Sri Lanka’s most extraordinary historical marvels. At TPR Holiday Tours, we invite you to explore this ancient citadel that rises dramatically from the jungle, offering a glimpse into the island’s royal past and breathtaking natural beauty.

🌄 What is Sigiriya?

Sigiriya, also known as Sinhagiri or Lion Rock, is a colossal 200-meter high rock column located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle. This ancient fortress was built in the 5th century AD by King Kasyapa and served as a royal palace, military stronghold, and city of pleasure.

Today, Sigiriya is considered one of the best-preserved examples of ancient urban planning, combining architecture, art, and landscaping in perfect harmony.

🏛️ Why Visit Sigiriya?

1. Ancient Engineering Wonder
The fortress complex includes royal gardens, moats, sophisticated water systems, and frescoes that have survived for over 1,500 years — an engineering feat of the ancient world.

2. The Mirror Wall & Frescoes
Climb halfway up to witness vibrant frescoes of celestial maidens and the famous Mirror Wall, once so polished that the king could see his reflection.

3. The Lion’s Gate
As you ascend further, you’ll reach the enormous lion’s paws — all that remains of a once-massive lion-shaped entrance that gave Sigiriya its name.

4. Panoramic Views
Reaching the summit rewards you with stunning 360° views of lush green forests, distant mountains, and surrounding villages — perfect for photos and reflection.
