LNP – Visitors to be allowed in Sigiriya during moon-lit nights

In a bid to boost revenue from tourism, the Tourism Ministry has decided to allow visitors at historic rock fortress Sigiriya at moon-lit nights.   

The Ministry will allow people to visit it for five days a month- full moon day, two days prior to the full moon day and two days after.   

Currently, visitors are allowed during day time between 6.00 am and 6.00pm. The programme is called ‘Sigiriya in Moon’.
