Location

Sigiriya is situated about 8.5 kilometers off the Colombo - Trincomalee (A6) highway. There are two popular choices in traveling to Sigiriya.

The first choice is to travel directly to Sigiriya through the A1 and then switching to A6 highway at Ambepussa. This route is approximately 168 Kilometers.

The second choice is to travel to Kandy first and then take the A9 road and switching to A6 at Dambulla. This route is approximately 88.5 Kilometers.

Either route would take you to the Inamaluwa junction (included in the above maps) which in turn will allow access to Sigiriya.
