This morning, visit Sigiriya, known as ‘Lion Rock,’ a towering 600ft granite fortress topped with the ruins of a 1,500-year-old royal palace. Surrounded by moats and water gardens, the site features stunning murals of ‘cloud maidens’—jewelled women carrying lilies. The palace entrance was once guarded by a giant lion’s head; now only its massive paws remain. After exploring, enjoy a relaxing afternoon at your hotel.
