Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress的点评
点评:I call it the Machu Picchu of Sri Lanka - the Sigiriya Rock Fortress is a must to anyone who venture north of Sri Lanka.
Our journey started at 5am from Hotel Sigiriya with the hope to catch the sunrise. REMEMBER to book your tuk-tuk in advance. Our driver was Chaminda +94 779692723. Roughly 5 min drive to the entrance point.
Paid the entrance fee of LKR10,500 per foreign adult and off we went. Since June is considered a low season for western foreigners we were the few tourists that began our ascent. The stairs.. the endless stairs.. can be challenging so take deep breaths and short breaks in between.
Yes! We made it to the top just in the nick of time to catch the sunrise. All the huffing and puffing paid off. Wasn’t too crowded at the top and many young and old successfully made it to the top.
Super breezy so watch your hat from flying off. The terraces still somewhat preserved and the breathtaking views are exhilarating! We were lucky that there wasn’t many tourists. It took us about 30 mins to make the ascent. Walking down can be gruelling with bad knees so again take your time and hold the hand rails for support.
Hooray! Bucket List Sigiriya checked✅
翻译:我称它为斯里兰卡的马丘比丘——锡吉里耶岩石堡垒是任何前往斯里兰卡北部探险的人必去的地方。
我们的旅程于凌晨5点从锡吉里耶酒店出发,希望能赶上日出。记得提前预订嘟嘟车。我们的司机是Chaminda,电话:+94 779692723。大约5分钟车程即可到达入口。
我们支付了每位外国成人10,500斯里兰卡卢比的入场费,然后出发了。由于六月是西方外国游客的淡季,我们是少数几个开始攀登的游客。楼梯……无尽的楼梯……可能很有挑战性,所以在攀登过程中要深呼吸,并短暂休息。
是的!我们及时到达了山顶,看到了日出。所有的气喘吁吁都得到了回报。山顶上人不多,许多年轻人和老年人都成功登顶。
微风习习,小心帽子被风吹走。梯田至今仍保留着一些古迹,壮丽的景色令人心旷神怡!我们很幸运,游客不多。我们花了大约30分钟才爬上去。如果膝盖不好,下山可能会很费劲,所以还是要慢慢来,扶着扶手支撑身体。
万岁!锡吉里耶的愿望清单已经完成了✅
