lies about 18km away from the Morawaka town and 8 km away from the Pitabeddara Town. The Temple built during the 2nd century BC is on a rocky hill isolated from human habitation is attributed to King Saddhatissa ( 137-119 BC ) of the Anuradhapura Era. The temple has been built by King during the time he ruled the ancient Rohana kingdom during 161 to 137 BC as a prince.
Once you park at the vihara premises you can see the chethiya (stupa) far away on another mountain top. From here it is a climbing down to the foot of the mountain and then climbing the next hill. The steps are made out of granite and has been well laid.response / report this review -

This is another Rajamaha viharaya located in closer proximity to Pitabeddara. There is a story connected with a local god called Rajjuru Bandara dewiyo and this is a very interesting religious place.
First there are about 150 stone steps to climb down and then there is a water stream to cross which comes from Sinharaja forest.
After that, there is a huge straight climb for about 200 stone steps to get into the shrine area which is a cave temple. Interior is very cool and comfortable even on a very sunny day.
There is enough ground for parking. No food facilities..response / report this review -
