The theory that Sigiriya was a Buddhist monastery is given here, although the established position that it was a palace or fortress prevails.

Near-vertical walls soar to a flat-topped summit that contains the ruins of an ancient civilization, thought to be once the epicenter of the short-lived kingdom of Kassapa, and there are spellbinding vistas across mist-wrapped forests in the early morning.

My communication started with Jeev, who patiently and wordy answered all my questions and tried adapt the program to my needs. Then Aaron took care of us during 3 days. All was as sharp as said in the program, we did not miss anything and everything went smooth. Aaron was kind, well-mannered and made sure all the time about us being comfortable. Special thanks for nice and comfy car. Despite long hours of driving 3-4+ hours - we felt very well. In the end, Jeev gave us a complimentary lift to airport. Which was quite nice. I think this tour company is reliable and does best for client. The tour implemented perfectly. Highly recommended.
