Highlights 

• Sigiriya Lion Rock (UNESCO World Heritage) 
• Drive to the east coast 

The 200 meters high Sigiriya Lion Rock is located in an ancient garden, surrounded by the remains of a former palace complex. The fortress is Sri Lanka’s most important and most visited UNESCO World Heritage site. 

The history of this place dates back 7,000 years when King Ravana founded this amazing complex. Researchers suspect that the original palace lies undiscovered inside the rock. Allegedly one sees otherwise closed crevices open from time to time … 

The rock palace experienced a second heyday in the 5th century under King Kasyapa. The king’s son used the rock as a refuge from his brother and had elaborate buildings, a water supply that was groundbreaking for the time, and refined water gardens that can still be seen today. 

Halfway up the ascent, you will reach the “Cloud Girls”: well-preserved, centuries-old wall paintings made of natural paint. On the summit plateau, the ruins of the extensive royal palace invite you to climb. The strenuous ascent over 1,860 steps is rewarded with a pleasant cooling breeze and a wide view of the surroundings. 

In the afternoon, arrive at your first beach resort in the Trincomalee area of ​​the east coast.

The inhabitants live mainly from fishing and growing coconuts and rice. Historic buildings such as the Dutch fort from the 17th-century bear witness to the 450-year influence of three colonial powers. 

The city is well known for its “singing fish”: if you dip an oar into the water of the lagoon on moonlit nights and hold the other end to your ear, legend has it that you hear fine sounds that are said to come from mysterious marine life. 

Divers have the opportunity here to dive for the wreck of the British aircraft carrier Hermes. The hull is overgrown with corals, but very well preserved.
