Sri Lanka's Sigiriya Castle Ruins 🇱🇰

- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- ■ SRI LANKA, SIGIRIYA: After locating the entrance and bypassing the Japanese tour group I was ready for a brief climb to see the famous 1600 year of frescos and scale the summit of the Sigiriya rock. Initially I thought it would be a brisk 10 ascent. I was wrong....
I didn't know that Sri Lanka is this beautiful and the people are very nice too.
Hi , come and experience the beauty of our great land..
Its a very poor country tho:(
@@DaniClipz wt do you mean by very poor? Srilanka's GDP per capita is 110 th in the world.We are 76 th based on HDI(Human development index) which is better than countries like brazil ,egypt,china and India.We are poorer compared to western countries.But not very poor as you say.gain some general knowledge.
Thak you plz come and visit ..enjoy ..🇱🇰
deffinetly
Mr.harald thank you for all these videos that you uploaded about Sri Lanka. Due to the bombing happened in last April Sri Lankan tourism was down to zero. And now thanks to you and some other RUclipsrs we are recovering. Thank you for all your kind acts on my motherland 🙏🏼
Epic place. I never forget my trip up there 5 years ago.

You have a beautiful country brother. Much love.
Bihist : totally the same here
It won't be completely safe until something is done about the notorious Yes Yes Man of Bandarawela.
@@blokeabouttown2490 🤣🤣🤣 That was a ghost!
That moment (21:31) where the monkey dad came over and took the baby from mom's hands to hold him tight was cute. Great video.
Now waiting to see the hotel's dinner buffet. Lol!
Well preserved historical place.. sri lanka is very rich in culture. Love from Philippines

Nimmi Wickramasinghe ,absolutely yes

It's really true akkhh..

What a progressive place to live back in the day
Ancient Sinhalese are a great civilization than the current generation.
I've binge watched a ton of your videos and I'm addicted! I'm in a wheelchair so traveling, for me, is a nightmare. When I watch your videos, it's like I'm vicariously traveling through you! Stay progressive, Harald!
God Bless you
I wish one day you can travel like him
Hello Harald im sri lankan
You give $1000 to that tea man
Its very popular now in sri lanka
Sri lankan news tv are publish it
Yes he knows...
Have you got any links to the local story?I was hoping Harrold would stop by him again and see how he was getting on.
@@Tunnelrat6666 nah but if you check Harold's video " I took a bus through mountains in Sri Lanka" it's meantioned in the comments section.
Tea man😍
@@sweeta17k84 From Tea man
Harald approves Sri Lanka. It's a beautiful country. Thank you for showing us. I hope to visit Sri Lanka soon. Signing of from Sweden, see you then👍👍👍
You are welcome 🙏🙂🤗 come may to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
You are welcome 🙏
Thank you👍😁❤
Your are welcome 🤗🤗🤗
Waiting to welcoming you soon 🙏🇱🇰
This series of videos of Sri Lanka is one of your top best. You giving us what other wonders there are around the world! Thanks!
Of all the videos of Sigiriya - documentaries, RUclipsrs, tourists photos, - this is THE Absolute Best.
😊❤️
Ya that's because this shows how hard is to climb it
@@ruwanthadileeshaka9028 Yes. All the other videos show looking up and looking down never the climb. And the adventure of the climb with the steps and views. Respect Ruwantha.
I always like seeing ancient historical ruins, or old habitations of various cultures. Harald is very good at seeking these places out and exploring.
Very Nice view...i lov it...thanks dear Harald....
Wow!! Thank you so much Harald,for showing to us all this incredible site!!!
It's tragic this place is not better known because in my humble opinion it's much more impressive than Chichanitza ,Mazatlan, or any of the Mayan or Incan ruins..🙄
Hell,no offense to my Egyptian friends, but I feel this site rivals the Pyramids and they took centuries to build...😮
I know I'm stepping on some toes, but this place was just truly amazing to see...☺
Some say people flew from here to Egypt and helped them build those.
Have you seen their stupas?Apparently they are the the second largest structures of the ancient world next to the pyramids.
@@cratoss.4772
OMG!!How is it that Harald didn't get to visit them!!😣😣
I had to Google them,and they are INCREDIBLE!!😮😮
WHY is it that the western world does not know more about this amazing country???!!🙁
After watching TimK's recent videos of Cairo and Giza,why on earth would you choose to go there,when you could come to this magical place!!😇😇😁
@larannar123 ofcourse this place is so underrated. And it was nominated as the 8th world wonder also. It has so many mysteries and it definitely older than 4000 years. The water you see on the top of the rock is not rain water.there are is still function water system to the top of the mountain and if you observe more closely you will find many more unbelievable facts and technoligies. But the actions taken by the government to preserve this and other archaeological sites in sri lanka is so poor and unacceptable.

OMG!!! It's original Harald... I love when your historically educational.
Flash backs too!!!
I have Type 1 Diabetes for 38 years and not being able to enjoy walking and adventures anymore but I can watch Harald's videos and feel like I have been on an exciting adventures in far away countries .THANKS HARALD for sharing your Progressive Adventures
Go pilipino
Try Ayurvedic treatment,
sri lankan ayurvedic doctors can completely cure diabetes
do keto diet to relief from diabetes
@@lankanlionsworld1608 no, they cannot 🙄
Standing where kings have stood must feel very extraordinary for a ViKing
It's the land of ancient Lion people (Sinhalese)...In our history, it has mentioned about people who were stronger than elephants, some worked for the Kings army and some helped to these create these stone architectures... All are history now.
will be coming from the uk to sri lanka will be doing the climb for the great view cant wait.
I was laughing when you said I do this in 10 minutes to climb the Rock. I have done it !
Bjørn J Sveinungsen ,now its so easy to climb up by steel steps,i went a school trip to sigiriya 30years before.we climb up by original steps, no safty fences.hold with other student hand..how dangerous is it..but good experience..girls must be wear a trouser.not a frock..what a funny at that time..
Dilip Janaka i did it 3 years ago and I was 68 but fit. My partner had heartproblem but did it as well. Had a little rest by Liongate. Harald looked a little exhausted. Hope we will hear from him soon. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
If not with you harald, I didn't know that Sri Lanka has a beautiful tourist attractions,,best ever vlog of you even though you have shortness of breathing to climb there lol,,😂😂😂 but if you reach the top it's worth it tired will gone away,, and you made it harald,,, proud of you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍😍
Welcome to the beauty of world
Ms wellcome to srilanka ..yeh he is amazing traveler
As a mason, I could stay there for days, and just observe 😍
Thank you for this. Wow!
Edit: I am in awe. This is an absolutely incredible video!
If you are into that kind of stuff, this is not the only place. There are so many historically important places in Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla and Kandy. Anuradhapura kingdom is more than 2000 years old and lasted for centuries. It's a must go place in Sri Lanka if you are into ancient ruins. So is Polonnaruwa.
@@dcharith I suppose we shall have to send Harald back then!
@@bobbysweeney5377 Yes yes we shall!
Lots of ancient architecture to explore in Sri Lanka. Visit and you'll be truly amazed from even what you read on the superficial tourist pamphlets or what you see on the surface. To find the real stuff, you need to actually read a lot of sources. The surrounding ruins, the mote and the gardens with still functioning hydraulics are more impressive than the structures on the rock itself.
These were built by giants and they were made from red bricks that melted into what looks like rocks and mountains with some structures through out the world showing pockets of survival like this one in video
That Sir was just amazing. National Geographic should be banging on your door.
That was the most wonderful place. I think I need a sri lankan holiday..
@@dhananjayaadhikari8836 I have visited sri lanka before and have described it ever since as paradise lost. Lost because of the touts. Not so keen on the lonely planet listing as that tends to fill places with poncy wankers and inflated prices..
but wont let it stop me..
@@dhananjayaadhikari8836 Still a wonderful place. Could be a world class destination if only you could teach the touts to be less irritating and shifty..
@@markwng Lol fully agree we just need to get our shit together and learn to advertise and market better.
I visited and climbed that mountain 4 years ago, and there were tourists everywhere. As it's now so quiet, I can only assume it's due to the recent terror attacks.
Terrorists is bad people.
The photography is prohibited because the flashlights might harm to the old frescoes in the wall. There were lot more but many have been faded with the time, so please don't worry!...8th wonder of the world -"Sigiriya" . Do you think a KING will climb the rock like that? no way!!..an elevator was there for the King, they guess. BTW this is one of the superb video Harald, Progressive!!
no because this is why you pay $30 to see the ancient art
What about without the flash?
Sri Lanka #1 to me,i will go there next year,what a place,thx Harald,best Vlogs by the way🌴👌🏽
❤️ sri lanka no 1 . Thank u very much .. from 🇱🇰
❤️😊
u warmly welcome ❤️😊
Welcome to Sri Lanka.It's peal of Indian Ocean, real beautiful country & kind people are living.it's a green county .Visit to keep unforgettable nice experience.....
As a history lover, this is my favorite type of content.
I agree and this place has a lot of history to tell, seen quite a few documentaries of this place. Its incredible! I encourage everyone too search around a bit on youtube or google a little about this place ! :-D
It is a water park. When it rains even now the water fountains work.
The "Sigiriya rock castle" is indeed an Engineering marvel. More info here: ruclips.net/video/CgFnRoFMHwQ/видео.html
Amazing place. I have never seen nothing like it. Thanks for takeing us their.
Harald you always make the journey so much fun! Thank you very much I approve! 😀
You have to say Dan approves!
All your Sri Lanka vids are incredible Harold! This one has just convinced me to look into a epic journey there myself. Thanks for bringing this wonderful country to our attention. Keep the vids coming
Thank you very much for this video Harald, Sigiriya is an ancient site I have long wished to visit but as I have fairly severe mobility issues it is a place I cannot go. Your tour of it was very nice and well shot and gave me a chance to see as I might have if I were able to go. Thank you again!!!
Nice, I have to go there some day. Good suggestion, thanks.
Thank you johan.. definitely come sri lanka 🇱🇰❤️
I think you burn't off that tripple whopper burger from the other day Harald. 💪🏼😊
Tropical Aussie and 2 large cokes
Looks like you’ve finally found your favorite country - Sri Lanka! You’ve been there for two years! 😂
❤️😊
@@quantumconciousscorner2911 I know he has traveled to many countries. My point is - he has spent the longest in Sri Lanka - which makes me assume that it is his favorite country.
@@helloproxy he said that in terms of europe.
He came again
That was an amazing place, I love to see places like that. Thanks for the great video brother...
@Dilshani Senarathna I wish I can go there...
@@djt5782 , hope one day you will 👍
@@djt5782 It's pretty cheap....for the most part at least.
Sri Lanka is just so beautiful, i climbed those stairs in 2004. Sigiriya, Dambula, Kandy, the tea plantations; so many beautiful places!
One of your best! National Geographic quality at least. Just amazing that someone could build something like that up on top. Your close up interactions with the monkeys was cool and we could see how they cared for and protected their babies. Very good job! This one definitely deserves to go VIRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man of many talents, now adding archaeologist, wild life photographer..... the list of titles of progressive lance keeps getting longer. We Approve ! Cheers :D
Mr. Harold is a very good man. I am watching everyday your page. You are every time helping poor people. your kindly man. I am also a Sri Lankan citizen. There are cunning people in Sri Lanka. Don't be caught by Money Thieves in Sri Lanka. Mr Harald.. God will protect you and God bless Anyway.. Carry on...
Harald man! Your Sri Lanka content has just been EPIC ....! Each video just gets better and better !
Few corrections. Water in the pool is not rain water. Theres an ancient pumping system to the top but mechanism is still a mistry. And that rock is not for prisoners . Its for roll over the cliff when theres an enemy attack. King made this edifice to protect himself from his elder brothers attack.
deffenietly
What an majestic place so peaceful 😍 am afraid 😱 off heights don’t think 🤔 I go .. buy through you I get to see much love and respect ❤️
Linda Nanan please visit sri lanka 🇱🇰 ❤️
Small correction harald This small steps you mentioned in the rock not the old steps these are threads for gear wheels. In the past of this rock having lift for climbe to palace. Did you think a king use this kind of hard route to went his mansion past this rock having elevator
The "Sigiriya rock castle" is indeed an Engineering marvel. More info here: ruclips.net/video/CgFnRoFMHwQ/видео.html
Mostly those "small steps" like rock carvings were there to hold the foundations of the buildings which are now disappeared a long time ago!
If there are foundations why they didn't drill a hols, it's much stronger than this steps, don't know exactly you guy's are correct.but I found this informations after refer multiple books.
Drilling was not necessary to hold the foundation intact. Laying blocks of granite or bricks over the "small steps" is enough for laying the foundations on the rock surface.
Anyway, If they are to drill the rock, then how would have they done it? I mean the method and the materials used and how they've done it?? What is your idea? Just curious bro! 👍 Cheers!! 👍
I remember using those steps and holding on to the railing in the early 90s before they build the fancy stairs on the side.
Thank you for these videos Harald I watch them every day....PLEASE don't stop!!
The only notification I race on to open! Harald is back with the adventure!! Love from Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰♥️
Greetings from India. Absolutely love srilanka
Most Sri Lankans have climbed this Rock. Generally it is full of people. School kids plus Buddhist monks tourists, and many others. I have been watching your Videos from Day one. The video you uploaded giving that generous gift to the tea place guy has gone viral. It is on Facebook, WatsApp. Everybody is sharing it. Sri Lankans are very grateful of your gesture. That man deserved it. You chose a correct person to give money.
For us can't afford to witness how good Sri lanka is .Mr.Brave man !thank you for exploring Sri lanka for us.watching your vid we feel we are exlporing too.We salute you.more power and good luck to your next journey. We're waiting....
Hey Harald.. I'm Sri Lankan... I want to say thankyou very much for making videos like this about my country.. It's very honour for us.. I sow you gave $1000 to a tea shop.. That's very sensitive and glorious thing every I see in my life.. You have very beautiful heart.. becouse that you are very famous in Sri Lanka.. I wish to meet you someday.. It's one of my dream.. Thankyou sir..
1. The citadel on top of Sigiriya was built by King Kasyapa who ruled from 477 to 495 CE. He choose this as his royal residence as he was worried of potential attacks from his brother Moggallana, the rightful heir to the throne. From atop of Sigiriya he had unobstructed views of the surrounding area.
2. The rock is 200 metres high and visitors can walk the 1,200 steps, divided amongst a number of staircases, to the top.
3. King Kasyapa’s life and rule was full of controversy. He was born to a non-royal concubine and had no right to the throne. Consequently he rebelled against his king father Dhatusena, imprisoning him and eventually having him killed, entombing him in a wall.
4. Prior to King Kasyapa using Sigiriya as his residence, it’s thought the rock was a Buddhist monastery. It was once again used as a monastery after Kasyapa’s death till it was abandoned in the 14th century.
5. On a plateau halfway up the rock Kasyapa built a gateway in the form of a huge lion with a staircase emerging from the lion’s mouth, hence its name meaning Lion Rock.
6. Considered one of the best examples of ancient urban planning, the site of Sigiriya became an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982.
7. King Kasyapa created a ‘mirror wall’ so highly polished that he could see his reflection as he walked by. There is also evidence of a wall, 140 metres long and 40 metres high, covered with paintings of ladies. These paintings are still partly visible today. Visitors inscribed their thoughts of the painted women along the ‘mirror wall’. This graffiti is of great interest to historians, showing the development of the Sinhala language and script.
8. The city includes water gardens, a moat, terraced gardens and archaeological features.
9. It wasn’t until 1831 that the abandoned Sigiriya was discovered by British Army Major Jonathan Forbes. He came across the site whilst horseback riding through Sri Lanka. A few decades’ later archaeologists spent time on a research operation in the region.
10. The advanced and impressive hydraulic system consisting of canals, lakes, dams, bridges, fountains and underground water pumps still provides water to the site’s gardens today.
"9. It wasn’t until 1831 that the abandoned Sigiriya was discovered by British Army Major Jonathan Forbes. He came across the site whilst horseback riding through Sri Lanka. A few decades’ later archaeologists spent time on a research operation in the region."
The legend says that there were many treasure hunting expeditions to the ruins after that point by various British and then local "researchers". It is no wonder now only the stone pillars and foundations remain now.
@@freecommentor thanks for information
CE? The Christians made the Gregorian Calendar, the LEAST we can do is not appropriate it by assigning arbitrary naming conventions because we hate Christians so much.... We didn't rename "Algebra" because of it's Arabic origin....
Thank you Herald Showing the beauty of Sri Lanka, you do promote Sri Lanka millions times better than SL government, They are busy with political madness 💥💥Sigiriya is the largest tourists visited site in Sri Lanka but after easter attack tourism declined, thats why you did not see many visitors, today it seems abondon palace like 1000 years ago..But I hope after seeing your vedios people will desire to visit again Sri Lanka ..Many thanks bro....Next time you should try 'Sri Lankan Desi Daru'...It is only in hidden places..!!!
Amazing place and amazing country, sad to see it so empty.
Its a heritage site not meant to be packed.
Thank U Harald ! For showing our beautiful island to the world.
i am always amazed how the ancient peiople were able to create these structures.

It is said that there was a lift to carry alla the rocks and water

That is not rain water there is a water plumbing system still no one knows where it's come from. As u can see this water never got empty from this tank also u can see there was no rain like few months
I am a Sri Lankan and I have climbed this rock 8 times. Once I climbed this on a rainy season and that was the best climb ever. You can even observe the water fountains getting activated with rain.
😍❤️❤️❤️ what a place 💕i want to go there .. from india
You should do it 😊
You must visit sigiriya rock my dear
@omkar joshi Are you jealous?
@omkar joshi lol
I absolutely love it when you add a bit of information on the history of the places you visit with the pictures and the narration in the background!!
It's been a while since you have done it and its truly a treat.
The spectacular view is beyond comparison. Love from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
I enjoyed the views and monkeys.
Harald, thank you for sharing your adventures.
Awsome adventure!!! So glad I watched. Thank you for bringing us along
I dit that too when i was 10 two years a go .. i miss Sri lanka😕
@ Cel, Thank you VERY MUCH for liking my country Sri Lanka! :-)

Amazing site glad you went to the top always wondered what it would be like to visit first hand thanks 💕👍
Dear Harald. I'm a Sri Lankan from Dubai
. Thank you for visit my little island and sharing to the world your experience ,Great !
The scenery and the monkeys are just amazing both together just wow 😍
I'm visiting Sri Lanka in February. With massive sadness, I've accepted that my vertigo won't let me climb Sigiriya. (The worst thing for me is solid rock on one side and a sheer drop on the other....) But I'm hoping I can still make it to see the cave paintings.. Thanks for the preview.
I can watch this all day. so cute mothers and babies
WOW this was impressive, and the size of the rocks are so hudge, remember in your previous video you said 10 minutes to get there lol
thx to share those sublimes images!!
Magnificent place you visited 👍Will for sure go there if I ever get to visit Sri Lanka.
virtuella hi
Hi Harald !!
With all due respect you are my favorite RUclipsr now a days. And I have watched all of your Srilankan adventure , I am still watching all your other videos as well. There are actually no words to describe how wonderful and well captured footage that you have put together to make all these Vlogs.
Sigiriya kingdom is my favorite place in srilanka, and will be forever the favorite place. It actually has more treasures places hidden in sigiriya kingdom which only most of the old locals knows as some of the old locals I know have been working in that place for preserve the sigiriya rock from being distorted, like 60 , 70 years back they were actually few of the guardian of the sigiriya rock. I met one person through one of my friend actually. He was about 70+ years old and a local. That person came with me when I said that I wanted to see the kingdom.
I was actually surprised !!! He took me to places where actually people has never been in years. Those places had many treasures stories behind which I learned from him as he explained to me each and every thing he knew about.
I wish I could describe all those to you. This is how sigiriya kingdom actually became my favorite place. Because it’s a historical miracle.
I took time to write this comment because when I saw this video I saw how excited were you to know about the past and about the hidden treasures places. Same as you I my self is a person who loves historical places which has treasures stories behind.
One day when you back in srilanka If you are Interested we will go on a mission in sigiriya rock and the pidurangala rock ( which king kashyapa hide his treasure ) as well and search for hidden places and learn all those stories behind them. Like I said to that the best person you should take is a local person who knows about the place. So then, stay safe for now. !!!
Keep uploading your wonderful documentaries. I have learnt soo much from them so far 😇
Sounds a scam story teller who tries to sell some false stories and collect some money. You must be not a Sri Lankan originally 🙂
9:01 "Everytime i was thinking it was this hill... This hill... when I get to the top of one hill... I get another hill to scale!"
That is just life and our expectations brother!! We fulfill one expectation hoping it would bring us joy.... Only to find that joy is bit far on the top of the other hill... Next expectation! 🙏😌
Nice vlog... Keep it up Herald!!
From an ancient history perspective Harald, this is one of the best thus far. Thank you Harald for all your endeavours. Truly sublime content when you're flying solo. Comical and fascinating when you're with Bald and absolutely entertaining when you're with Bald and Simon.
Waiting patiently to find out where you guys are at right now!
Don't miss out on the amazing beaches in Sri lanka.. Hikkaduwa, Arugam bay, Pasikuda, and Tangalle are my favourites. You can go for a good swim;) Also, for more ancient ruins with historic importance visit Anuradhapura. There you get to see a bunch of interesting historic treasures. It's totally worth it I tell you.
And Happy travelling Herald! Thanks for promoting our country to the rest of the world 💜🇱🇰 Very progressive of you haha..
He already left
Thank you Harald for taking us along with you to the Sumit..I will never be able to climb this so I appreciate every video you make. You always take your videos so much further than anyone else and truly you're the very best!!! You're making our dreams come true! God Bless you!😃
Awesome video Harald!! IMHO one of the best to date. Thank you for sharing you’re adventures with the world.

This is my mother land I proud about my country. There is no any other place in the world like sri lanka. Now i living in japan it’s realized live in any other country.Thank you very much harald
I got winded just watching that climb!
Last year i was on this rock as well and the view is so amazing. With your eyes you can see so much detail.
One of the best places, even it's a touristic spot.
This magnificent design is over 5,000 years old.
There were even elevators 🇱🇰
The lion's foot on the front is a later structure
The entrance to the The inner palace was closed from it 🤷🏻♂️
Is this even real? Never heard of it. Omg. Also read the comment about Sigiriya being King Ravana's.
Yeah bro it’s true.
Search about it.
It's a universal thing that goes beyond the bounds of most people's minds
People of Sri Lanka seems very friendly ❤️👍
Harald , you are the best Scandinavian tourist ever!! Very efficient in you tube uploads, always the best one to find new adventure!! You are a great Viking machine!!

Thanks for coming and hope you have a great time here. Thanks for helping our people and I'm really appreciate your help and come back
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for taking us along with you to Sigiriya. Keep up the good work, HB!!☝️
Thank you Harold for your Epic adventures. Your commentary is entertaining and always makes my day.
I’d never be able to see this in my lifetime as I’m in a wheelchair and this would be impossible for me.
So thank you for showing me a place I’ve always been fascinated by.
Keep up the most wonderful and fantastic videos.
8:04 LMAO dog just chilling in the middle of the stairs pretending Harald is not there xD
That place is seriously beautiful, with all the greens & mountains surrounding it
That intense cardio workout getting to the summit was so worth it... not just for the divine 360 degree view, but having the opportunity to witness those monkeys in their natural environment. Another magnificent vlog Harald!!
Mr. Harold, the sacrifice you have made for our country is unimaginable. I, as a Sri Lankan, thank you for this. We owe you. May the Buddha bless you.
Sri lanka very rich and progressive in terms of thier culture..
It's the land of ancient Lion people (Sinhalese)...In our history, it has mentioned about people who were stronger than elephants, some worked for the Kings army and some helped to these create these stone architectures... All are history now.
@vunderground1 haha
I for one can't wait to see Harald and Tim back together again. This is by far the best pair on YT right now. This time I hope they do a longer journey.
Such amazing shots and im impressed of how respectful you were for nature and ancient relics. Props man. Thanks again for sharing this with the world amd I. Beats watching animal planet any day.
