After joining the Elephant safari on the previous day, I set out my day visiting Sigiriya Rock, known as the Lion's Rock. The $30 entrance fee was a bit of a letdown, given the fact that as a tourist we weren't provided with enough historical context. However, I tried driving a tuk-tuk afterward and it felt so exciting as if I found a new job in Sri Lanka!

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveler and TH-cam creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveler, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher-my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on TH-cam, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on TH-cam.

Welcome back to another video. This video is edited by my boyfriend th-cam.com/video/TpDNg0dxt-0/w-d-xo.html as I have been feeling creatively drained and out of inspiration. A very normal process in between constant creation. I hope you still enjoy this video!

it came to my thought like how must be the life and the people when these ruins were not ruins but lively! loveliest Srilanka 💗
Indeed, the Sigiriya used to be a fortress and believed to be an ancient site using megalithic technology. Thank you for always watching Bijay :D
@@SyifaAdriana i watched about megaliths.. 'nd welcome 😊
Its the palace of rawana.. he is reportedly invented the worlds first ever aero plane
@@Simplynavva Wow then it's a part of Rawana's Lanka! A place not to be skipped in Srilanka! And I know the name of his airplane. It's called 'Puspak Bimana'
It's an incredible place, full of rich history ❤️🇱🇰

Nice video. Great view from the top of the rock!
Thanks for sharing Syifa 🙏
That mirror wall is significant in another way. It reflects our literature. Poems were engraved in that wall by the ancient visitors to Sigiriya
Thank you for sharing this information!

Hey Syifa Adriana, Welcome to Sri Lanka. Though I am a Sri Lankan I enjoy watching your Sri Lanka visit vlogs.. you are such a great bold solo traveller. And a very pleasant presenter. Glad to watch HD quality videos like this.
Keep travelling. Be safe too
Thank you so much Niroshan! That's very kind of you to say that
Wow!!! You climbed all the way up that stairway to heaven :). The view was breathtaking. But i think the highlight of this video was to see the look of pure ecstasy and joy on your face as you rode the tuk tuk. Lol! You're concern for the elephant and love for animals is noticeable. You're bf did a splendid job of editing the video. That was another enjoyable vlog. Thank you.
That’s so true Terence. The ecstasy actually came from the climbing part, as well as the tuk tuk riding! So so so fun. I loved the tuk tuk riding in itself, hoping to do it in an extended series of travel one day. Happy new year to you! Havent said it personally
Very beautiful and informative video, thanks Syifa !
Really appreciate about ur task. You introduce our heritage and cultural to the world. Thanks for you.. Best of luck... 🙌
Today again you made my day wow❤️❤️
Always love to watch your vlogs and it makes me feel refreshed.lots of love from nepal🌺
Thank you so much Kiran!
One of the best travel vloggers😍 best of luck syifaa... 😍loving your videos
This has been a very enjoyable Friday evening treat Syifa. The views you presented this evening are wonderful to behold. Never would have known how relatively flat the lands of Sri Lanka are without your video stairway to the heavens. I noticed your very lightweight top in the video and admit I do miss warmer weather. Here the temperature is currently 3 F or -16 C. Yet I enjoyed this episode 12 while eating a dish of ice cream. Hope your travels continue to bring new adventures. -Bob...
Bob, your comment is always a breath of positivity for me. It's been 0-15 C in Kathmandu as well and already feel the winter depression haha! I can't imagine how it must be for you..
I found out about you're videos just 2 days ago and I've finished watching the sri lankan one , keep up the good work 🖤
I take inspiration from this from my own TH-cam channel actually, great to see like-minded TH-camrs out there.
Beautiful vlog as always , Wow ! proud of you
Thank you so much Ajitray!
Great video. Sri Lanka is really beautiful
Congratulations Syifa on your 200k subscribers 🥳🥳✨🍾🍻

Thank you so much Uvindu :D
Hello Syifa! what a fascinating view! I love the place. Thank you for showing this...... Amping...
Hello Mario! Thank you so much for watching. The view is breathtaking but the history of the lion fortress is also fascinating, something that I didn't explain much on this video because I didn't have enough time to learn about it :)
Hi Syifa,
Great clip! The value of visiting the Sigiriya its a place full of history and science. The ponds around it is connected to the top pond and there is an irrigation system. There are more and more to write. The price tag is there since it is one of the worlds wonders. By the way it is one of the palace and surrounded there is a very advanced city with science and art. You have covered 5 percent of the Sigiriya Experience could be thats why it is just a rock for you personally.
For the Elephants there is a tradition in the country and we take care of the elephants. We respect your thoughts and we take care of them. With our traditions and Buddhism background we have our own ways. It is similar to people keep pets in their houses. Kudos to the Taxi driver, he explained your most possible way he could.
Further more, its a very natural thing a girl along travel in a different country and people are confused whether you are a tourist or a worker. That could be a reason they ask you questions and try identify you. Basically we travel and we will need to spend little bit money there and of cause country to country the prices tags are different.
Hope you will learn more when you travel more destinations. Making a budget to your travel by checking out the price tags prior to visits will help you to have very positive perception and enjoy your journey more.
Cheers!
Thank U for visiting my country. And its really really lovely tha way you talking and every thing. Thank U again. Come again. 😁😁😍❤️
Great video💖💖💖
As a Sri Lankan I really enjoyed your all videos... You know how to enjoy and see the good side of everything. Safe travels...
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
That was a great video, Syifa. It's good to see that you're getting LOTS of exercise! That's the equivalent of spending 1 hour at the gym on the Stairmaster! hahaha Congratulations on your new job as a tuk-tuk driver!
Santiago! How have you been? It has been a while. I am glad that you enjoy this video :D

Brilliant, great video. Well done
Thank you Anthony!
Thnx for coming here..world will know that we have a great legacy too🙏🙏
Hi Syifa. You are doing great job really amezing.
I am really surprised, How many Beautiful places are in Sri Lanka......and hospitality by Locals are really appreciable..U are picturising everything very professionally...keep it up...
I visited this amazing place in the 1960's, well before it became overrun with tourists. There was no entrance fee, in fact the only building was a little kiosk selling drinks and refreshments. The climb to the top was much more difficult, in places it was just ladders strapped to the side of the rock with no supports or protection. You could say it is now like a stroll in the park Ha Ha! From what I can remember the palace on top of the rock was not as visible as it is now. I also remember that there were some enterprising locals who had set up a stall at the wall paintings and were asking for payment if you tried to take a photograph! Certainly a highlight of my visit to Sri Lanka (or Ceylon as I knew it) along with the visit to Kandy and the Temple of the Tooth. Thank you for your video.
Wow that’s fascinating
How old are you?
At 8:37, your hair colour and the rocks colours were perfectly synced 💚💚💚
Your Vlogs are amazing! The content is very informative, lucid and your narration is excellent. You are
very gracious and charming lady. I have become a subscriber and look forward for more interesting and informative vlog!
Thank you Ganapati 🙏🙏
Wow thank you for this beautiful vlog
Comdedy video channel subscribe ..
I think you missed the paintings, those are very beautiful. Called Sigiriya paintings.
Ultimate freedom!! and fabulous.
Nice videos thank you for the beautiful images.
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
I'm very happy .You had a lot of fun driving the tuk tuk.... i like you. God bless you❤❤
Great ancient heritage, captured beautifully.,
8:33 You say that it is a beautiful color. It is due to some geography stuff which I’ve learnt at school yet can’t remember now :) Yet it has a nice legend attached to it.
In our literature, we have a mythical king named “King Raavana” and Sigiriya rock is considered to be his palace/fortress. That nice, almost vertical shape of that side of the rock was happened due to a slash by the sword of King Raavana. King Raavana story is mentioned in “Raamaayanaya” book.
Thank you for sharing Raveen!!
