An ancient buddist temple located in ridiyagama area.the access road is under construction.the visitors are allowed only during day time.buddist monks are doing meditation in the chambers.you may not speak loud when visiting.a very calm and peaceful environment.beaware of monkies around the temple.
This is found after traveling 16 km on the Ambalantota Ridiyagama road. It is located on the balance mountain. This was known in the past as the Billava Temple. It is also called as the Karadu Lena . There are a large number of caves. The Tooth Relic has been temporarily deposited here. Many paintings by monks can be seen here. Many caves are currently being renovated. As a result, their situation has changed.
Must visit ancient Buddhist cave temple. You can climb to the top of the mountain and view is really nice. It is few kilometers of gravel road, but can travel my a car in the dry season. Could be challenging in the rainy season.
