Pamir MountainsPamir Mountains

Pamir mountainsThe Pamir Mountains are a mountain range in Central Asia formed by the junction of the Himalayas with Tian Shan,Karakoram, Kunlun, and Hindu Kush ranges. They are among the world’s highest mountains, and since Victorian times, they have been known as the "Roof of the World" presumably a translation from Persian.

The precise extent of the Pamir Mountains is debatable. They lie mostly in Gorno- Badakhshan province, Tajikistan and BadakshanProvince, Afghanistan. To the north they join the Tian Shan mountains along the Alay Valley of Kyrgyzstan. To the south they join the Hindu Kush mountains along the Wakhan Corridor (or WakhjirPass) in Afghanistan and Gilgit–Baltistan in Pakistan. To the east they may end on the Chinese border or extend to the range that includes Kongur Taghwhich is sometimes included in the Kunlun Mountains.

Sigiriya

SigiriyaSigiriya is an ancient palace located in the central Matal

District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavangsha, this site was selected by King Kasyapa (477 –495 CE) for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure — Sīhāgiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and the royal palace was abandoned after the king's death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century.
