Booth at Sigiriya ticketing porch on 21 Aug — pay porch or argue a WhatsApp tariff toward Pidurangala
21 Aug, two of us, daypacks, no balcony budget. Guesthouse quoted a foreigner number from memory. We have a screenshot of something from 2024.

Pay the booth in front of you. Pay the booth board; a WhatsApp screenshot is not a tariff I will invent. A WhatsApp screenshot is not a tariff I will invent. I will not invent a 21 Aug fee. If the porch is closed, it is closed; Pidurangala is the other pin.
Leave a buffer. Agree the fare before you sit. Do not cut it to twenty minutes at Sigiriya ticketing porch and then argue in a jam.
If it is steaming at porch, sit. If not, pack fruit and walk to Pidurangala. Biscuits in the bag anyway. The wait is the hungry part.
