If you’re staying in the sacred city of Anuradhapura, a drive south to Sigiriya lets you tackle Sri Lanka’s famous Lion Rock in a single afternoon. The massive ancient fortress rises abruptly from the jungle plains, and the climb to the top involves a mix of steep stairs and narrow gangways. Day trips make the journey much easier by handling the winding 2-hour drive so that you can save your energy for the 1,200-step ascent. Most tours also include a stop at Dambulla Cave Temple along the way, giving you a chance to see two UNESCO sites without the logistical stress of coordinating local tuk-tuks or bus transfers.
