• Sirigya, Lion's Rock

    April 16, 2022 in Sri Lanka ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Found a cozy relaxing spot and stayed in Sigirya for longer than I expected. Visited a bit this calm place with an Ucranian, Indian and Bielorussian (my country was absolutely the most boring one) and made quite an interesting group. Stayed high probably for my hole stay because of the owners of the place, but had some fun with them and learned a typical game a bit similar to poll (I was incredibly bad at it btw). Sirigya rock reminded me to a Game of Thrones castle and had some stunning views/sunsets/sunrises. Even bumped into a Buddhist parade! Was a nice place to recharge some energy, stop and think (even though travelling is amazing, often it also exhaustes you, frustrates you, annoyes you, makes you run out of energy, makes you feel out of place, and gives you lots to think about and reconsider). Even when going to Triccomale finally saw my first wild Elephant. Overall Sirigya was absolutely a must do for me!

    📍Essentials: Lion Rock for sunset (its quite an expensive attraction (30$) but in my oppinion totally worth it, some people only do Pidurangala Rock, but its completely different concepts and this rock is so full of history and amazing architecture, also you should take some time to see it and enjoy it and not be in a rush, so at least 3h are needed), Pidurangala Rock for sunrise, Secret Rock for sunset, ride along the town and stop in the lake, find the ancient undiscovered ruins next to Pidurangala
    🏠 Accomodation: Anotherworld hostel (oasis of calm and peace, the guys from the place are soo awesome (became really good friends with them hehe), really good location, the food is incredibly good, and the place is sooooo cheap)
    🍴Food: Mili's Restaurant
