Pidurangala,Sri Lanka

Pidurangala Rock

pidurangala is a massive rock formation located a few kilometers north of Sigiriya in Sri Lanka. It has an interesting history closely related to that of the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Climbing to the top of Pidurangala Rock is more strenuous than climbing Sigiriya. If you are fit and adventurous it is a climb worth making. It will take you about tow hours. There is far less to see on this site than Sigiriya.

When you enter Sri Lanka into Google, the first image result and many others are Sigiriya Rock. A huge boulder piece of the earth rising from Sigiriya's jungle-clad landscape. It's one of Sri Lanka's wonders and a must-see on any visitor's itinerary, whether you climb it or not. However, just tow kilometerse north of Sigiriya is another mountainous rock formation named Pidurangala. A second Sigiriya climbing opportunity that everyone should consider.
