The experience

Make the most of your visit

  • A reservoir setting in the Sigiriya countryside

Before you go

  • Confirm lawful public access to a dry-land viewpoint and a practical taxi stop. A lake name search does not identify a visitor entrance or make every bank accessible.
  • Boat trips, cycling, meals and private village visits are separate arrangements. The duration of an operator’s combined excursion is not a verified duration for this lake stop.

This is the Kandalama-area site associated with the name Kalupokuna, distinct from the similarly named pond and monastery area at Mihintale.

Sigiriya Museum

Sigiriya

Sigiriya Museum introduces the archaeology, planning and material culture of the Sigiriya site through objects, displays and interpretive context. It can deepen a traveller’s understanding of the wider heritage landscape, but it is a separate museum visit and should not be treated as a substitute for, or the entrance to, Sigiriya Rock Fortress.
