Sri Lanka's Must-Visit Landmark!

If you're planning to explore Sri Lanka, you absolutely can't miss Sigiriya Rock 🇱🇰. Built in the 5th century, this ancient kingdom is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The rock stands 195 meters tall, and its elevation reaches 370 meters, making it an awe-inspiring sight. I climbed all the way to the top, and the sense of accomplishment combined with the breathtaking views made it incredibly satisfying✨. There were monkeys at the summit, but they were calm and absolutely adorable🐒. If you have time, I highly recommend paying attention to the murals as well☺️. While I encourage everyone to climb to the top, please note that the path is uneven and the stairs are exposed. If you're afraid of heights, it's best not to push yourself🥲. Also, make sure to wear athletic shoes and bring water when you decide to climb!
