17 things I Wish I Knew BEFORE travelling to SRI LANKA 🇱🇰

The thing is Sigiriya is not a viewpoint. It's an ancient fortress complex and a UNESCO heritage site. If you're just looking for viewpoints they are everywhere. Sri Lanka is full of viewpoints.

It is not a waste of 30 dollars to visit Sigiriya. is not merely a view point. It's a historic fortress. as compared to paying £35 to tour The Shard in London

I spent about 45 days in Sri Lanka about a year ago. Your video is informative but the Wifi was pretty good everywhere, I was able to watch stuff on Netflix and also do a lot of videoconferencing so I would say Sri Lanka is a good place for digital nomads. Also public transportation is excellent, I mean buses and trains run all the time and roads are also good and I wouldn't say it takes hours to get to places. There's loads of amazing places very close to each other in Sri Lanka. So don't be afraid of local transport. I only took a tuktuk once. Also go to those cheap local eateries, the food there is excellent and cheap. And when you arrive you may choose to spend a day or two in Negombo instead of Colombo (it's quite lovely and close to the airport).

Pidurangala is a great viewpoint of Sigiriya, but you will sadly miss out on the architectural marvels that is on top of Sigiriya unless you visit the actual rock itself. Also if you're in Sgiriya the best and nearest Safari experience would be Minneriya National Park which is only a 30 minute drive from Sigiriya. For partying in Colombo you can go to places such as Sunset Blue at Hilton, Colombar at Cinnamon Lakeside, Steurats by Ctirus etc. on Fridays and Saturdays where they will have Live Bands playing during the evening. Or you can go to a Night Club like Cleopatra or The Chiller Room.

you canot repalce pidurangala or anyother viewpoint by sigirya. Sigiriya is not just about view from top. It has lot more about history, incredible architecture and old arts. Thats why it is called as 8th wonder of the the world.
