Dambulla to Sigiriya: your private trip
Sigiriya is only about 20 km from Dambulla – around 30 minutes by road – so this private Dambulla to Sigiriya trip is an easy half-day outing. Your driver collects you from your Dambulla hotel, waits while you explore and brings you back, leaving the rest of the day free.
What you see at Sigiriya Rock Fortress
- Water and boulder gardens – pools, fountains and rock shelters at the foot of the rock
- Sigiriya frescoes and the Mirror Wall – the famous painted maidens and ancient graffiti
- Lion’s Paw entrance – the giant stone paws that guard the final stairway
- The summit palace – ruins of King Kashyapa’s 5th-century palace and views over the forest and lakes
Sigiriya tickets, opening hours and the climb
The Sigiriya ticket for foreign adults is about USD 35 and is paid at the entrance. The site opens at around 7:00 am, with last tickets at about 5:00 pm. Allow 2–3 hours for the gardens, the climb of around 1,200 steps and the summit. Starting early is cooler and quieter. See full Sigiriya ticket prices and opening hours.
