Lion’s Rock (aka Sigiriya)

Lion's Rock, or Sigiriya, is a massive rock fortress in Sri Lanka, rising more than 600 ft above the surrounding jungleIt was once the royal citadel of King Kashyapa in the 5th century AD and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Elephants are generally located in the national parks and protected sanctuaries but occasionally they make their way through to villages or roads which can be dangerous for all involved.
