WHY GO TO SIGIRIYA ROCK? Come HERE Instead! 🇱🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- Sigiriya Rock now costs $30 US for foreigners to enter! Pidurangala costs only $3 US.
Sigiriya is overcrowded with thousands of tourists fighting to get up the narrow stairs. Pidurangala is virtually empty.
Why go to Sigariya when you can go to Pidurangala instead?
The view from Pidurangala to Sigiriya is spectacular. It's a no brainer. In this video we show how to go to Pidurangala for a wonderful day out.

You seem to be a very interesting couple .Thank you so much for visiting our little island

Sigiriya is a special place of archaeological value. Kasyapa, who killed his father, came and built a palace on this rock for protection, that is the story everyone knows. But in the lower part there are many very important special places that no foreign tourist knows, only local tourists know. unfortunately there's no international investigation or documentary has been produced about this. The reason may be that Sri Lanka was isolated from the world for decades. The government does not seem to care about this. However, the price of tickets is quite high. I accept that too. However, a very good place for anyone interested in archaeology.
(Love this video be safe❤️)
Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating information, ROGMEON, we appreciate it greatly 🙏🤗🇱🇰♥️
It's good that the ticket prices are high for foreigners, just minimize foot traffic of visitors. If you watch the documentary called "The Last Tourist", you'll understand why mass tourism would destroy significant places like Sigiriya.
i have fond memories in sigirya , such a masterpiece
It is an incredible place. We loved the atmosphere there. 👍
You need to understand the historical value of Sigiriya. It’s not just a view point.
We talk through the historical significance in the video... maybe you missed that bit?
We mentioned the historical significance of Sigiriya in the video... did you miss that bit?
But the price is too expensive
For locals rs150
For foreigners RS 10000
Unfair😮
@@FrugalTravellers your screen states no to sigiriya in red and pidurangala in green that’s not a fair statement. Pls be a little bit more receptive to your audience feedback.
Sigiriya is a UNESCO world heritage site. It represents our advanced technology back in the days, we respect our heritage. We are proud of it. Pidurangala is just a rock. So the tickets make sense, 30 dollers in not much considering the historical importance of the place. There should be a proper guidance to tourists about historic value of the place , so they won't mislead and think it is another rock climbing.
Thank you for providing your opinion. For me, 9000 LKR is a very expensive ticket to see something... and it is exorbitant in comparison with the price it was until fairly recently. Maybe the aim is to discourage foreign tourists, and to leave Sigiriya for the locals, who quite rightly pay far less at around 100 LKR per person.
Beautiful country Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
We want to see the tea country around Sylhet 👍🇧🇩
Hello Lee and Mandy u must be knowing Sri Lanka like the back of your hand by now 😂 take care lots of love and prayers to you both God bless you always 🙏❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Nisar 🙏😍 It is always so wonderful to receive such great feedback, and such kindness! Big hugs to you too 😊🤗🇱🇰♥️
lovely video on pidurangala
We're so pleased you enjoyed this video. It is such a beautiful place 🤗❤️🇱🇰
The ticket to see Sigiriya maybe expensive but coming all the way to SL and not visiting it seems a shame. That’s just my opinion. Good luck to you both.
Yes it is a shame we couldn't go in. It was just too high for our daily budget. We really hope to return to Sri Lanka as we love it here and maybe to be able to visit then. 🙏❤️🇱🇰
Wow! Pidurangala has plenty to see as well. Worth a trip on its own.
Yes it's a beautiful place. The landscape and natural environment makes it really special. A really lovely vibe. ❤️
I really enjoyed this video - thanks Mandy and Lee.
You're welcome Ally 😊 It's a beautiful part of the world. 😍
The visuals are very clear. 👍🏻💖☺️
It was a lovely day. Shot on a GoPro so no good zoom unfortunately. 👍
Found this very interesting, thank you hope your both wellxx
Thanks Julie. We are both well thanks very much 🙏😊 Hope you are too. ❤️
11:58 the ginger sweet that is mixed with sesame seeds is called "Inguru thala" , and the other one is "dhosi" I think. Usually made with pumpkin preserve. And yes Sunil is his name.
Thank you so much. We appreciate the information. It's always hard with a language barrier. What a delicious treat. We hope to return for more. ❤️

Nice journey ..
Thanks a lot 😊🙏
Not everything is cheep in Sri Lanka. Enjoy it
No, I'm afraid not 😞
Hi M&L,
Visiting Sigiriya seems interesting but also it's quite expensive. Plan B seems a good alternative & a nice work out! 😰
You guys must have slept well that night.
Hard to know if them sweet bars were nice but they were cheap for the quantity.
Enjoy your evening, take care 🙋🏻♂️
Hi Sergio 👋
It was a very interesting place and a great alternative. I love these kind of trips. The tropical, jungle setting is what I love and the wildlife too. 😊
Mandy gave the sweet bars a big thumbs up so I can't argue with that 😊😆👍
Have a great week.
Bangladesh🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
We will visit this year 🙏🎉🇧🇩

Hello sir... Please Dont say "dont go to Sigiriya"
Hello! That's a good suggestion. We'll change it to something like... Don't Go to Sigiriya Rock and Pay 9000 LKR | Come Here Instead
