  Less known Buddhist archeological site close to Trinco. A must see place for archeology enthusiasts and Buddhist pilgrims.

  Ruins of a large complex of an ancient Viharaya. Located far away from outside world isolated in the middle of a beautiful jungle should have made it an ideal place for those monks who were following the noble path to the Nibbana.

  One of very ancient temples of sri lanka with a big archiological and religious value. It was built at the time of the great king Dewanampiya Thissa. This Temple and monks have been badly affected at the time of terrorisum. They accept donations. Please be generous if you visit this place as the head monk and the rest is running the temple with lot of difficulties.

  Great archaeological site of an early Buddhist temple complex. A keen observer could still see the spacing for the door hinge carved into the stone. Also, an exposed treasure stone could be seen on the foundation.
