One of the seven world heritage site of Sri Lanka.
Proposed to be 8th Wonder of the World
Dated as far back as 7,000 years ago!
Truly amazing..
 |
| The Winter Palace is on top of this Rock - The Sigiriya Rock |
 |
| Does this look like an elephant head? |
 |
| A closer look at the bricks formation |
 |
| Apparently, the King was transported up and down these steps on a carrier whenever he needed to leave the Palace in the Sky |
 |
| A resting place when the King needed a break |
 |
| Almost 2,000 steps in total to reach the top |
 |
| Breathtaking journey to the top..pity those who had to carry the King eh? |
 |
| Some sources claimed that the entire west wing of the rock is covered with up to 500 paintings of women like these, only 22 is visible now. Very very precious indeed. |
Not for the faint hearted!
 |
| I think the sign says..."This way to the Winter Palace in the Sky" :P |
Stay tuned for Part 2 ;-)
looking forward to part 2...brings back nice memories
