Throttle through history on this motorbike adventure to Sigiriya, Sri Lanka’s iconic 5th-century rock fortress. Your ride weaves through rural villages and golden plains before the 200m-high Lion Rock erupts on the horizon. Park your bike at dawn to conquer the 1,200-step climb, passing frescoed maidens and the colossal lion’s paws gate.
Rev through Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle to Dambulla, where golden cave temples and thrilling rides collide. Park your bike beneath the towering Dambulla Rock Temple, a 2,000-year-old UNESCO site adorned with 150+ Buddha statues and vivid ceiling frescoes. Then hit the backroads – weave through spice gardens where cinnamon scent fills the air, and detour to Rose Quartz Mountain, Sri Lanka’s pink-hued geological wonder. Refuel with fiery Kottu Roti at a local eatery before cruising to Sigiriya, just 30 minutes north.
