Pidurangala

Pidurangala offers the perfect vantage point for breathtaking views of Sigiriya, especially at sunrise.

Overview

Pidurangala is located just over a kilometer away from Sigiriya, and its summit is only slightly lower than that of Lion Rock. This makes it the perfect vantage point to enjoy breathtaking views of Sigiriya, especially at sunrise, when the rock is bathed in a warm, golden glow.

Visitors come to marvel at the dramatic 660-foot “Sigiriya” Lions Rock that rises abruptly from the ground and dominates the surrounding landscape. Our trip takes you to the summit of Pidurangala, where you can enjoy a sweeping view of the majestic Lion Rock, Sigiriya. It is an ideal spot for photography, with Lion Rock forming a truly picturesque backdrop.
