How long should I spend at Sigiriya?
Allow about 3 hours for Sigiriya. That is the typical visit length OneCeylon uses when it builds an itinerary around it, so a day planned with this figure actually fits. It is best visited in the morning.
How much does it cost to visit Sigiriya?
Entry to Sigiriya is typically around 11,000 LKR. Foreign-visitor pricing in Sri Lanka differs from local pricing and is revised periodically, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a quoted price.
