Luxury holidays in Sigiriya

When to go

The highs hover between 25°C and 30°C year-round, but you’ll want to avoid the rainiest months – November and December – if you plan to climb the steps up to the ancient city.

Getting there

• Planes

  Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport is a four-hour drive away. Domestic flights land at Hingurakgoda airport, an hour away by car.

• Automobiles

  The closest city, Dambulla, is 25 kilometres away. It’s worth hiring a car if you plan to explore the area to its fullest.
