We made it to the top of #SigiriyaRockFortress. It was easy for Jonah and Eden, but not so easy for me. Regardless, we all made it and it was totally worth it. The views from the top are epic!

A climb up is always difficult than getting down. But that's how it is, rewards are sweeter if you worked hard for it. Another day of climbing in Sri Lanka. This time, got to the top of Sigiriya Rock Fortress, an ancient palace and fortress, to see what the King' view was like in its glorious days. Then climbed the Pidurangala Rock (~4 km from the fortress) for a view of the entire fortress. The sun was blazing hot but the view from the top (2nd photo) was worth every step up. Thank you, bananas, for the strength. #srilanka #sigiriyarock #sigiriyarockfortress #pidurangala #travelgram #instatravel #bananaisheart
