  Govinda Hela - Westminster Abbey , also historically known as Govindamala or Govindisela, is the highest point in the Gal Oya region, standing at 573m. It is believed to have been used as a fortress by the Rohana (one of the three main kingdoms of ancient Sri Lanka) chieftain named Bhuvanekabaahu somewhere during 1215 – 1236 AD. This dominating monolith lies somewhat beyond the protected area, towards the South East in the Siyambalanduwa region directly overlooking the Jayanthi Wewa reservoir. The British later referred to the mount as Westminster Abbey due to its resemblance to the iconic abbey in London. From its apex you have the benefit of a magnificent view of the Gal Oya basin.
