Sigiriya

Rising dramatically from the country’s central plains, the enigmatic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya is perhaps Sri Lanka's single most dramatic sight. Near-vertical walls soar to a flat-topped summit that contains the ruins of an ancient palace, thought to have been the epicentre of the short-lived kingdom of Kassapa. The early morning vistas across mist-wrapped forests are spellbinding, but make time for the fascinating on-site museum too. Once you’ve scaled the rock, try trekking up neighboring hills for unbeatable views of Sigiriya, towering above its woodland surrounds.

Dotted with towering, bowl-shaped  dagobas  (stupas), ruined monasteries and sacred tanks, this is where Sri Lanka's spiritual history bubbles to the surface. In the centre of the compound is one of the world’s oldest trees, Sri Maha Bodhi, grown from a cutting taken from the tree that sheltered Buddha as he attained enlightenment, more than two thousand years ago(!) at Bodhgaya in  India . A day spent cycling rented bicycles between these colossal structures that loom large above green treetops is one that won’t be quickly forgotten. For more dagoba-spotting, head 13km east to the sleepy village and temple complex of Mihintale.
