Pidurangala is a rocky promontory, about 1 kilometre as the crow flies north of the Sigiriya fortress (3 kilometres by road). It houses an ancient Buddhist monastic complex, Pidurangala Cave Temple. This monastery was developed in the5th century by King Kashyapa. Access is via the Pidurangala Vihara, a more recent temple, and then up some steep stairs to the ancient temple and its large reclining Buddha statue, then a bit of climbing to reach the top. From the top of the rock, the view on Sigiriya and the surroundings is fantastic.

Some passages are steep and it is necessary to climb between some rocks. A beautiful reclining Buddha awaits us halfway.
Bring good shoes and water hydrate yourself.
Less crowded than the rock of the lion.
Top, given amazing on the rock of the lion.
