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.

Superbe
Pas très loin du rocher du lion et à ne pas rater! L'entrée est à 500rs, la balade est plutôt facile, à la fin il faut grimper un peu mais rien d'insurmontable - du moment que ce soit par temps sec! La vue est absolument sublime, encore plus impressionnante que depuis Sigirya et bien moins fréquentée. A ne pas manquer au coucher du soleil, c'est magique.

Put yourself in legs before the ascent of the rock of the lion!!!
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.
