Like so many other visitors we hiked the super popular (and historic) Pidurangala Rock in Sigiriya, Sri Lanka to try and catch the sunrise for its gorgeous view of Lion Rock. But hiking in the dark doesn't always work out perfectly.

We got a bit lost finding the correct staircase in the dark, so make sure to turn right at the temple for the main staircase and you should find the top no problem! Pidurangala is a lot cheaper to hike than Lion Rock, but we still whole-heartedly recommend hiking Lion Rock if you only have time for one hike. It's beyond worth it.

We stayed at Thal Sewana Homestay just a short walk from the entrance. Our host, Washanthi, cooked amazing food, kept an impeccably clean and comfortable home, and made us feel like family. The house is walking distance to both Lion Rock and Pidurangala Rock and made us feel like we were sleeping in a national park. Highly recommend it. Here's the link for her place:
