Hey there, can anyone in guiding us to visit pidurangala rock by bus. Where should we get down, which bus to take from dambulla and stuff like that. Thank you so much!
A:
Take a bus to Dambulla then probably easiest to Uber or hire a private driver to take you to Sigiriya. There may be some private and public buses but it's not far so I'd recommend going by car.

I didn't do it at sunset but it would totally be possible, taking into account the good advice you just received. It's a climb not to be missed whether you do it at sunset or simply during the day. A bit challenging in the later part but doable (I did it and I'm 66 and definitely not an athlete).
