| Pidurangala Rock is a 200-meter-high rock formation located near Sigiriya in Sri Lanka, famous for its stunning panoramic views of the Sigiriya rock fortress. From the summit, you can admire an unobstructed view of Sigiriya, the surrounding forests and hills – often said to be even more beautiful than Sigiriya itself. | |
| King Kashyapa built a Buddhist monastery here in the 5th century after donating it to monks forced to leave Sigiriya, where he had built his fortress. Remaining ruins include a cave temple with a 12-meter-tall reclining Buddha statue. | |
