One tends to reverse the clock and go back on time when visiting Sigiriya, the acclaimed heritage site located in Sri Lanka. It sure is an ideal tour spot for travellers with lots to explore, providing a mix of tradition with modernism. The presence of the fortress is a major attraction. It was built by King Kasyapa way back during the period of 477 A.D - 495 A.D. Also known as the Lion Rock, it has some 1500 steps to climb. The landscape boasts of beautiful water gardens and a mind-blowing painting gallery. To reach Sigiriya Village one should disembark at Colombo airport.
