Sigiriya Lion Rock

Dramatic monolith and UNESCO site rising from jungle—shoot sweeping panoramas from the summit, the carved lion paws/rock terraces, and the frescoes and mirror wall mid-climb. Best visited at sunrise for soft golden light and fewer crowds, or late afternoon for warm side-light; avoid midday haze. The climb is steep (many steps) and requires moderate fitness; tickets are sold at the park entrance and there is basic parking. Respect dress codes and no-flash rules near frescoes. The surrounding moor
