Descripción completa

De Sigiriya a Ella es uno de los traslados mas largos de Sri Lanka y hay dos formas de hacerlo. La ruta habitual pasa por Kandy y toma seis o siete horas de curvas continuas. Esta toma la carretera oriental por Mahiyanganaya y sube el escarpe de Uva, que es mas tranquila, menos transitada e incluye algo que la carretera de Kandy no tiene.

Los Vedda son el pueblo indigena de Sri Lanka, presentes en la isla mucho antes de la llegada cingalesa que las cronicas fechan en el siglo quinto antes de nuestra era. Quedan algunas comunidades, principalmente alrededor de Dambana cerca de Mahiyanganaya, y una visita implica conocer a miembros de la comunidad, ver las tecnicas de caza y recoleccion que todavia enseñan, y escuchar su propio relato de una historia que normalmente se cuenta sobre ellos en lugar de por ellos.

Sea honesto al respecto. Estas visitas son un sustento y estan, en cierta medida, representadas. Eso no las hace carentes de valor, la comunidad controla la presentacion y los ingresos se quedan localmente, pero no es un encuentro con personas no tocadas por el mundo moderno, y quien se lo venda asi no esta siendo honesto con usted.

La carretera sube entonces el escarpe hacia Uva y desciende a Ella por la tarde.

Sigiriya es una columna de roca de 200 metros que se eleva sobre la llanura de la zona seca, en la que el rey Kasyapa construyo su palacio en el siglo quinto tras usurpar el trono, y es un lugar de la UNESCO desde 1982. La subida son unos 1.200 escalones por escaleras y pasarelas de hierro, pasando por el muro espejo con sus grafitis milenarios y la galeria protegida de frescos, hasta las garras del leon que dan nombre a la roca y los cimientos del palacio en la cima. Toma una hora y media de ida y vuelta para la mayoria de la gente y es mejor comenzar a las 7:00, antes del calor y los autobuses; la entrada para visitantes extranjeros es una de las mas caras del pais, y Pidurangala, la roca vecina, ofrece la vista clasica de Sigiriya por una fraccion del precio.

Preguntas frecuentes

Hotel pickup in Sigiriya, Dambulla or Habarana; confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover the vedda village community fee, temple donations, meals and drinks, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Lanka Travel Hub. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

A 20-25 minute walk downhill from Ella town through tea and jungle — uphill on the way back. A tuk-tuk to the Demodara side is quieter and saves the climb. It is free, with no ticket and no official viewing area. See our Nine Arch Bridge guide.
Roughly every two hours, but Sri Lanka Railways runs 30-90 minutes late routinely, so any blog quoting exact times is quoting a timetable rather than reality. Ask at Ella station on the morning — staff will tell you what is expected and how late it is running.
Little Adam's Peak for almost everyone — 45 minutes up a stepped path for arguably the better view, out through the Ella Gap. Ella Rock is three hours return, largely unsigned, and people get lost on it regularly; take a guide or an offline map. Compared in full here.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways are. Send your luggage ahead by road if you have a driver. See getting to Ella.
January to March for the clearest Ella Gap views. June to September is dry but hazy from the Uva wind; October to December is wet. The real risk is cloud, not rain — at 1,000 m the view can be inside a cloud on a dry day, and mornings are clearer than afternoons in every month. See best time to visit Ella.
Two nights, which gives you two dawns — Little Adam's Peak on one, Ella Rock or a tea morning on the other, with the bridge mid-morning on day one. Our Ella 2-day itinerary sets out the order.
Do everything before nine in the morning. The Gap view is clearer in the morning in every month, Little Adam's Peak has a queue by nine, and the Nine Arch Bridge has hundreds of people on it by ten.
Roughly 1,200 steps, about 180 m above the plain, with handrails the whole way. Entry is around USD 30-35 for foreign adults — one of South Asia's priciest tickets — paid in cash. Climb at the 7am opening: there is no shade above the frescoes. Full detail in our Sigiriya rock guide.
It is cheaper and has the better view — of Sigiriya. What it does not have is the water gardens, frescoes, mirror wall, lion's paws or summit palace. For the photograph, take Pidurangala. For the site, take Sigiriya. Compared properly in our Sigiriya rock guide.
Roughly June to September, peaking in August, when the shrinking reservoir exposes fresh grass and several hundred elephants converge. Outside those months the herds disperse and you get a normal safari. Operators switch between Minneriya, Kaudulla and Hurulu depending on where the herds are — that is them doing their job. See our Minneriya gathering guide.
Five caves under one granite overhang, in continuous use since the 1st century BC, holding around 150 Buddha images and 2,100 m² of painting. The approach is a steep 15-minute climb; shoes come off at the top terrace, so bring socks. See the Dambulla cave temple guide.
Polonnaruwa if you have one morning — compact, cyclable in three hours, and the Gal Vihara is the finest sculpture in the country. Anuradhapura if you have a full day and an interest in living Buddhism; it is a thousand years older and still an active pilgrimage city. See Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura.
Sigiriya is in the dry zone and follows the *northeast* monsoon — its wet season is October to January, the opposite of Colombo. Best months are May to September, which is also the elephant Gathering. See best time to visit Sigiriya.
Two nights in Sigiriya, Dambulla or Habarana. Day 1: the rock at 7am, Dambulla late morning, a 3pm safari. Day 2: Polonnaruwa by bicycle or Pidurangala at sunrise. Our Sigiriya 2-day itinerary sets out the order and why it matters.
