We were on an 11-day and 10-night trip. It was our 2nd day in Sri Lanka. We are here with an interesting episode that covers the very famous Sigirya Rock also known as Sigiriya Fort or Sigiriya Fortress or Lion's Fort and Ravana's Palace or Soney ki Lanka etc. This is located in a huge 1.5-hectare land and stands 180 meters high. In the epic Ramayana, it is referred as Trikuta Parvat, where the Deamon King Ravana used to live. He made his city from gold.

We were on an 11-day and 10-night trip. It was our 2nd day in Sri Lanka. We had a nice breakfast and went to the Minneriya Village Tour. That was one of the best things that we did in Sri Lanka. It had a full package of bullock-cart riding, boating, Sri Lankan village houses and tasted traditional food. After this, we went for a 2.5-hour Minneriya Elephant Jungle Safari. Earlier no elephants were seen and when they started appearing, we were elated. And then a herd of elephants blocked our path and did not allow us to proceed for 15 minutes. We were so tense. The ticket prices for the Village tour and Jungle Safari are $80 per person. From here we went to Sigiriya Rock / Ravan ki Lanka that is covered in Episode 3. While returning to the hotel we visited the Buddha Golden Temple also known as Cave Temple. The ticket price for the Buddha temple is $5 per person. Watch the video on YouTube:  #GhoomneChalo
