Pidurangala at sunrise, then Sigiriya Rock is Majeste's private day tour from Sigiriya. It takes about 6.5 hours door to door and costs $76 per person for two, including your own car with an English-speaking driver and entrance tickets. Prices checked 7 Nov 2026. Nothing to pay now.
Two climbs before 11:00, both tickets included.
Pidurangala Rock in the dark for the sunrise view across to the Lion Rock, then down for a quick breakfast and straight on to Sigiriya when the counter opens, so you climb before the queues and the heat. Two climbs before 11:00 is tiring; the top of Pidurangala needs a short scramble on hands and knees.
Planning times from Sigiriya, not promises.
Pickup in Sigiriya; bring a torch.
