Overview

Pidurangala is a massive rock formation located a few kilometers north of Sigiriya in Sri Lanka. It has an interesting history closely related to that of the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Climbing to the top of Pidurangala Rock is more strenuous than climbing Sigiriya. If you are fit and adventurous it is a climb worth making. It will take you about two hours. There is far less to see on this site than Sigiriya

Sigiriya is absolutely one of the great sights in the world, containing the ruins of a 5th century CE castle on a massive monolith, and surrounding gardens. Two levels of challenge- at the very top are the ruins of the palace, but for those of us who are a little less agile and energetic, half way up are 18 original fresco paintings. To make any of this possible or meaningful, get a guide in addition to the entrance fee - $US20 + a tip (minimum 5000 rupiah I think (but I find the tipping culture very confusing ) Before that we went to Dambulla Temple, an amazing Buddhist temple or series of chapels built into the rock, decorated with Buddhist statues and ceiling paintings. As well as the ticket you have to pay for someone to mind your shoes and then you walk bare footed on the one-hot rocks. There were monkeys! The tour is private and the driver is an escort rather than a guide so you need to get most of your information elsewhere. Driving is according to the cultural norm, fast, smooth, lots of overtaking and hand-held phone conversations. My driver Vilan was courteous, helpful, warm, and observant so that he didn't push me into places I wasn't interested in (much appreciated!) but helped me get the best day I could have.

One of the most valuable historical monuments of Sri Lanka, this ancient palace and fortress complex has significant archaeological importance.Rock plateau formed from magma of an extinct volcano, 200 m high, 1200 steps to the top, since 3th century BC served as a monastery. Once you climbed the top, you enjoy a magnificent view of the surroundings.

正直に言って、ここのツアー会社をおススメしません。 【タンブッラ・シギリア・ピドゥランガラ、象の孤児院への魅力あふれる1日ツアー】と記載されているのに、象の孤児院へのプランはないと言われ、オススメはサファリだと案内されました。 サファリはいくらかと尋ねると、それについての返信は全くなく、キャンセル料金の発生する前日にサファリのツアー料金は入場料、及びジープ利用料含めて2名で52,000ルピーと言われました。 既に支払っているツアー代金よりも高く、納得できないので、当日はサファリに行くことを止めました。 【含まれるもの　ミネラルウオーター】と記載されているのに、ミネラルウォーターの配給もありませんでした。 【ツアーには無料のアフタヌーンティーが含まれます】と記載されているのに、そのようなサービスもありませんでした。 ツアー会社には疑念が残りますが、当日に送迎を担当してくれたViran、ドライバーさんには感謝しております。 朝食を食べたい、と言ったら、パン屋さんに立ち止まってくれたり、お手洗いに行きたい、と伝えると、すぐにトイレ休憩に案内してくれました。 また、自ら私たちの写真をたくさん撮ってくれ、ツアーが始まってからは終始快適に過ごせることが出来ました。 シギリアもとても良かったですが、ピドゥランガラが最高でした。 決して忘れる事のない経験が出来ました。 安全で、快適に運転をしてくれたViranには再度、お礼を言いますね。 ありがとう(Arigato)、Thank you, Stutti! ස්තුතියි
