With kids
What they'll love around Sigiriya
Elephant safariHerds of 100+ elephants from the jeep. The highlight for most kids
Village tourAn ox cart, a canoe on the lake and cooking rice and curry
PidurangalaShorter than Sigiriya. The last bit is a scramble, fine for kids 7+ with help
Sigiriya Rock1,200 steps and some exposed stairs. Go early, and see the tips for kids
Climbing with small children? Start Sigiriya at 7 am before the heat, bring more water than you think, and skip the top if anyone's scared of heights. The water gardens and the Lion's Paws halfway up are still a great morning.
Good to know
- Elephants sometimes cross the roads after dark. Don't walk on unlit roads at night. We'll call a tuk tuk.
- Mosquitoes come out at dusk. Bring a kids' repellent, and we leave some in the rooms too.
- Heat: plan outdoor things before 10 am and after 3 pm. A nap in the A/C is the local way.
- Nearest hospital: Dambulla Base Hospital, about 30 minutes. Pharmacy in Sigiriya village (confirm).
Great for
- Parents with one or two kids
- Two couples or friends travelling together
- Grandparents plus a couple
Look elsewhere if
- The kids need a pool to be happy
- You're more than 4 adults
- You need a kids' club or babysitting
Questions families ask
Do you have a cot or high chair?
We have a travel cot and can borrow a high chair. Ask when you book (confirm).
Do children pay?
Children under 6 can stay in your room. Contact us for details.
Can you arrange a family van and driver?
Yes, from the airport, Colombo, Kandy or anywhere else, with child seats on request (confirm). See getting here.
Can we book just one room for 2 adults and a baby?
Yes. A baby or toddler can share your room. For anything more, the whole guest house is much more comfortable.
