Kandy to Sigiriya Shuttle Service

What to Expect

The 90 km journey takes 2.5 to 3 hours heading northeast from Kandy through the Sri Lankan countryside. The route passes through spice gardens, small villages, and the lush dry zone landscape. Optional stops at the Dambulla Cave Temple (a UNESCO site with 150+ Buddha statues) are possible along the way.

About Sigiriya

Sigiriya (Lion Rock) is a 5th-century rock fortress and palace built by King Kashyapa atop a 200-meter granite monolith. The climb passes through water gardens, the famous frescoes of celestial maidens, the Mirror Wall with ancient graffiti, and the massive Lion Paws gateway before reaching the summit palace ruins with 360-degree views across endless jungle. Combined with nearby Polonnaruwa, Dambulla, and Anuradhapura, it forms Sri Lanka's extraordinary Cultural Triangle.
