Sri Lanka
Situated not too far away from India, Sri Lanka offers effortless and economical stay for Indian travelers. The island’s affluent ancestry, distinct wildlife, and breathtaking beauty attract travelers from all over the globe. May and June are considered the cheapest time to book for Indian Tourists.
Sigiriya in Sri Lanka contributes to its cultural identity. It is one of the lesser-explored destinations you can visit. To know more about it, the Icy Tales team interviewed Alex Cornici, Founder and CEO of The Traveler, and discussed his experience. Here is what he said:
“Being a keen enthusiast of world heritage and cultural studies, I find Sigiriya very interesting and unique in many contexts—historical and cultural.
What Makes Sigiriya Unique? Sigiriya, often referred to as “Lion Rock,” is not only a natural monument but also a masterpiece linked to the fields of ancient urban planning, art, and engineering.
This site is the only one of its kind, with a colossal column of rock, almost 200 meters high, attached to a palace constructed at its top during the 5th century.
The surrounding complex, with its gardens, reservoirs, and frescoes, represents a testimony to the high technological and artistic achievements of the time.
Sigiriya harbors more than a sight for tourists; it is a site holding proud national history. This place holds legends about power, betrayal, and invention—all of which reflect the vivid character of that era.
It is also said to attract thousands of visitors who come to connect themselves with the rich past of Sri Lanka.
To truly appreciate Sigiriya, travelers should engage with its history and legends. Hiring a learned local guide will add value to the experience with exposure to the details not only of the architectural and artistic aspects of the site but also by putting it in context with the history of the location.”
