Even though this can be a polarizing topic it is a conversation that must be had. I believe most of the time the issue is that people aren’t aware of the importance of Sigiriya, it’s not conveyed to tourists properly.
People see it as an unusual rock that erupts from an otherwise flat region, but that it is the least interesting thing about it. Every time we explain this side of the Sigiriya story to travelers, they always change their plans from not climbing the rock, to Climbing it. And thats speaks volumes.
