Sigiriya
28 October 2007
Our Wattegama children enjoyed a fun and educational day-trip to Sigiriya, one of the most important and scenic archeological and historical sites in Sri Lanka. Geologically, Sigiriya is a massive, flat-topped rock rising high out of the jungle treetops in central Sri Lanka. Historically and archeologically, it's flat top was a citadel and seat of ancient Sinhala King Kasyapa (477-495 AD). The incredible views serve as the backdrop to the ruins of the ancient city.
Our Day
It was a full day for our children, -6 hours on the bus to and from, 3 hours to explore Sigiriya, and a couple stops at lesser-known archeological sites along the way. They also enjoyed a wonderful lunch, dinner, ice-cream, and snacks. Below are some photos to share the day!
