Sri Lanka Pidurangala Rock

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Not as well known as Sigiriya Rock but more than worth a visit. It costs only a fraction of Sigiriya and you have a much better view as you have Sigiriya in your frame. The climb is also very nice and adventours. It is also not that crowded, usually you share the view with only a bunch of people while Sigiriya is crowded as hell!

Photography Tips

Go during sunset, most people will be away by then. It is even worth visiting when it is raining/cloudy because it gives a nice mood and often on top the weather is okay!
