This museum represents the cultural, technological and archeological value of Sigiriya. The Sigiriya Museum allows its visitors to explore three decades of archeological research on Sigiriya. The design of the Sigiriya museum was inspired by the complex design systems evident in Sigiriya itself. Most importantly the cleaver use of water, where it both enhances the beauty and quality of the environment as well as the conservation of it for the purpose of irrigation is been replicated here at the Sigiriya Museum. (combine with Sigiriya rock fortress )

Stop At: Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress, Sigiriya 21120 Sri Lanka

Sigiriya is the most exquisite example of ancient Sri Lankan art, architecture and landscaping. Built over 1,600 years ago, the now sinister-looking 600 ft high black rock once appeared like a massive dazzling white cloud floating above the surrounding forests. Its sides were painted with beautiful frescoes of semi-naked nymphs. A large gatehouse in the form of a lion guarded the entrance to the innermost sanctum of the city – the Sky Palace on top of the rock. Sigiriya burst briefly into pre-eminence and was then abandoned and lay hidden in the forests for nearly 1,500 years. The climb to the top is strenuous but it is worth it. Definitely a must visit site!

Highly recommended. First and foremost our guide Chathu, what an amazing guy, so accommodating, knowledgeable. We stopped at places to have amazing breakfast and coffee, and lunch, affordable but good. Breakfast included continental options and amazing coffee. Sights were amazing, I could write a whole essay just for that, but I’m here to give praise to a really good service of this company. Fruit was bought as we stopped along the way in authentic locally sourced shops, all free. Coconuts, bananas, mangos, just amazing! A small word of caution, it gets really hot, and a lot of steps would definitely be a challenge for anyone with disabilities. Take an extra t-shirt, don’t spare the sunblock!

After a 5.45am pick up and 3 1/2 drive to Dwe stopped 10 minutes from Dambulla at a truck stop serving Nescafé from a machine. Not exactly as described. At no point did either of the two tour guides/drivers talk to us about anything at all - just when we were due back on the bus - because I asked! No cultural information at all. Nothing. There was no fruit or coconut as described and tbh you’d be much better off with a private taxi - after Sigirya we stopped at a tourist “buffet” playing loud Western music (Boyzone after 2000 year old paintings, really?) It was a tourist ghetto. Just awful. We spent over an hour there ( for no reason as it was a buffet and everyone finished after 20 minutes) then a slow 4 hour drive in complete silence hitting avoidable (?) rush hour traffic. Really really disappointing. Not one word about any of the sites and no attempt or interest in the passengers. AVOID!
