A must visit place in <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #00ccff;\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.travelcenter.uk\/top-five-hotels-in-sri-lanka-just-for-50\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sri Lanka<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. If your interests are in the field of Arts, Architecture, history, nature and etc. then Sigiriya is the place you should visit. Fortunately, I met a group of school kids, who had come there on an educational tour who taught me so many things, which I\u2019m going to share with you. 1600 years back King Kashyapa had made this rock to be his fortress. There are some great paintings, which they call it to be \u2018Frescos\u201d and I was told that those pictures of those beautiful ladies were in King\u2019s harem. These are the best-preserved paintings that I\u2019ve ever seen in my life, those paintings which are 1600 years old still, look great and fresh. If you are into arts and crafts, don\u2019t miss visiting this place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There were many astounding sites that you can see and one such thing was the mirror wall. I couldn\u2019t ever believe that a reflective wall still persists even after 1600 years. Even if you visit this place today, you will still see this very wall reflect your image. Undoubtedly it will not fail to astonish any one of us. Also, not to forget the lion stair ways, which proves Sri Lankan architectural knowledge during the ancient time, is remarkable. Maybe that\u2019s why they even resemble the lion in the Sri Lankan Flag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We went on Elephant rides which my kids really enjoyed to the core and few pics that we clicked when we were on the ride had been framed and placed in their rooms. You could also find a museum in Sigiriya, which has some historical monuments, which resembles the history of Sigiriya. I would reckon, that everyone who visits Sigiriya should also visit this museum as it explains a lot of history about the place, which will make your kiddos grasp some learning, while they enjoy. There are places where you could shop, textiles, wood works, and more importantly Sri Lankan tea, Oh my god, they taste the best in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10802\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelcenter.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1933\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka.jpg 1933w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-1920x1271.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-960x636.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-604x400.jpg 604w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_157994273_Sri-Lanka-585x387.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1933px) 100vw, 1933px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Please wear a loose outfit as the place is a bit humid and don\u2019t fail to take your sunglasses with you.

I have been writing contents based on holidays and tours for the last five years at Travel Center. My passion is to help people who love travelling and are looking for the ideal travel tips on destinations all around the world. Like a lot of people, I hoped travel would solve everything. I set off - convinced my trip would be all about incredible, life-changing moments; ones full of sunsets and rainbows and meaningful experiences. Instead, I stumbled headfirst into a disaster.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk"],"url":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/author\/kane-parker\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_1054621127-Sigiriya-Sri-Lanka.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/332"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2982"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13388,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2982\/revisions\/13388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
