This is Sri Lanka's crown jewel. Barely a km from Sigiriya, Pidurangala is another gargantuan rock, created out of a volcanic activity. It has stunning views and ancient history. The rocks itself is not quite prepped for tourist. After a few ancient steps, you need to figure out your way up the path.
You would see the medieval Buddhist monastery and meditation caves back to 477 A.D. and also a very large sleeping Buddha statue.
Start your hike around 5:30 am, reach the top in one and a half hours and you would catch the incredible golden sunrise over the Sigiriya rock.
You can reach this place in a 4-hour drive from the airport.
