It was a full-moon poya day, a sacred national holiday. the morning mists began to dissolve we decided that there could not be a better day than this to join the pilgrims for a journey to the Citadel of Sigiriya, considered perhaps the single most remarkable memory for visitors to SriFrom what we had read of the rock's fascinating history, this was one excursion we couldn't miss. Heading north and leaving behind the Kenilworth tea plantations of Sri Lanka's Hill Country, we soon found the rock fortress of Sigiriya looming large before us. This massive monolith of red stone rises 600 feet from the green scrub jungle.

Stupendous even today, how overpowering Sigiriya must have been when it was crowned by a palace 15 Ruins of the fabled palace spread across the very peak of "Lion Rock" -- so-named because visitors formerly began the final harrowing ascent through the open jaws and throat (giriya) of a lion (sinha) whose likeness was once sculpted halfway up the monolith. The paws are all that are left of the huge lion that once formed the gateway to the fortress. Within a grotto on Sigiriya's sheer west face, beautiful bare-breasted maidens still smile from phenomenalAsia's oldest surviving landscape gardens surround the foot of the rock and extend for several hundred yards, incorporating lovely ponds around Sigiriya's base of fallen boulders.

Lanka's oldest graffiti verifies this. Incised in tiny pearl-like script into the Mirror Wall beneath the frescoes pocket are prose and poems more than 1,000 years old. Although most of the ten-foot high Mirror Wall has fallen, we can still see portions of the original wall distinguished by the extraordinary coating of polished lime which still today, 1,500 years later, gleams and reflects like glass. From this walkway against the rock face, we climbed a caged spiral staircase to the incredible frescoes pocket of the Sigiriya Maidens. We had only a few minutes in the presence of this incredible panorama. This depiction of apsaras, heaven-dwelling nymphs, was breathtaking. The pathway toward the rock's summit lead from the frescoes along the Mirror Wall past a lookout where a

Today, we merely walked past well-appreciated soda vendors and climbed through two clawed paws to reach the steep stairwell and wind-blown railing that led to the summit.
