How long does it take to climb Sigiriya?

The time it takes to reach the top of Sigiriya Rock depends on the time you spend climbing the stairs. It usually takes about 2 hours to climb to the top, seeing the murals, graffiti, and mirrored walls. Since the path is made of stairs, you sometimes have to walk on narrow trails. But once you reach the top of the rock, you forget the narrowness of the road with what you see.
