Sigiriya
Old monarch castle, very well signposted historic site with many informative plaques describing each location.
A climb to the top of the rock fortress requires a moderate to high level of fitness. There are no lifts, just steps and ramps. The treads of the original steps are of white stone and made deliberately narrow (I was told, it was done to make it difficult for attackers to rush up the stairs) .
A marvel of ancient engineering with working water fountains, underground conduits and water reservoirs!.
Highly recommended for a visit, even if you don't ascend all the way to the top of the rock.

Sacred City of Kandy
Kandy is a beautiful and peaceful city. Located in the hilly region of central Sri Lanka, it is a temple town. The biggest attraction here is a Buddha temple where they have preserved a tooth of Goutam
Buddha. The temple itself is by the side of a huge lake. The premises also contain various Muslims. It is a peaceful and clean place.
