[Solo female travel in Sri Lanka] Is this hidden scenic spot actually better than Sigiriya Rock? It requires physical strength!

A hidden tourist spot! Introducing another rock that offers a beautiful view of Sigiriya Rock! ⭐️Review Pidurangala Rock is a huge rock mountain located in the center of Sri Lanka. It is adjacent to Sigiriya Rock and is at a slightly lower altitude than Sigiriya, but the view from that position is wonderful and you can see Sigiriya Rock in its entirety. Pidurangala Rock is known as the ruins of an ancient Sri Lankan monastery. It is said that a monastery and a temple once existed on this rock. In fact, you can see the reclining Buddha on the way up. At Pidurangala Rock, you will walk up stairs and a rough path to the top of the rock, but once you reach the top, you will be greeted with a magnificent view of the Sri Lankan plains. The last part is quite steep and almost rock climbing, so it is recommended for those who are confident in their physical strength. After all, Pidurangala Rock is located in a position where you can directly see Sigiriya Rock, so people who visit Sigiriya Rock often come here to enjoy the view. Instead of climbing Sigiriya, you can also view Sigiriya from this spot. Obviously, even if you climb Sigiriya Rock, you can't see Sigiriya itself, so... Sigiriya Rock is famous, but Pidurangala Rock is steeper and less touristy, so you can enjoy the tranquility and beautiful scenery! It's an attractive place for people who want to enjoy nature in a relatively secluded environment. #OverseasTravelStrategy
