What you can expect

This unique Sigiriya Hidden Gems Tour takes you beyond the usual tourist attractions and showcases the true beauty of Sigiriya through the eyes of a local guide. The experience begins with pickup from your chosen location within the designated tour area by private tuk tuk.

During the tour, you will view Sigiriya Lion Rock from all four sides and visit several lesser-known locations that most visitors never discover. Stops include the three main entrances of Sigiriya, the scenic hiking viewpoint of Pethangala, lakeside viewpoints offering stunning views of the eastern and northern faces of Lion Rock, and a complete view of Sigiriya's ancient inner moat system.

The journey continues to Milla Gala, one of the best hidden viewpoints in the area, where you can enjoy magnificent views of both Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala Rock. You will also visit the ancient Pidurangala Temple, Halmilla Lake, Thalkote Lake View, and the Sigiriya Temple while learning about the history, culture, and significance of each location.

The experience also includes visits to a traditional wood carving workshop and a herbal garden, providing insight into local craftsmanship and traditional Sri Lankan practices.

To finish the day, you will enjoy an authentic village experience featuring a bullock cart ride, a traditional catamaran boat ride, and a delicious Sri Lankan meal. Complimentary bottled water is provided throughout the tour. All entrance fees and activities included in the itinerary are covered by the tour price.

After the experience, you will be dropped off at your preferred location within the designated tour area. This tour is perfect for travellers looking to explore hidden locations, enjoy spectacular photography opportunities, and experience the authentic side of Sigiriya that few tourists ever get to see.
