Around 160 MT high rock temple situated in natural caves having reclining Buddha statues. Caves are having paintings on walls & ceilings of different eras crafted by different kings. Excellent place to visit. It takes around 1 hr to climb and back.

Best done with a guide to tell you all about the history and explain what you are seeing. All-in-all very impressive. Practical notes: it is a long climb up many stone steps to get there, so take plenty of water and wear good shoes. For the temples, ladies must cover their shoulders and legs, and everyone must take off their shoes - take a pair of socks with you if not already wearing them, as some of the pavings are outdoors and red hot!

Had Darshan on 19th February 2020 at 13.00pm During our Ramayana Trail tour of Sri Lanka, we had opportunity to visit this divine Temple on our way to Nuwara Eliya from Kandy. The Temple location is 1/2 km off-route to the main road and the climb can be interesting for young people. However due to paucity of time and as advise by our guide we took auto ( 3 people) SLR 400/- to and fro. The Temple approach has about 40-50 high stairs. So groups with senior citizens please be aware. The Temple and its surrounding maintained by Chinmaya Mission, India is serene clean and the beauty is abound. Just in time befor the Temple closure we offered puja as we carried prasad from India and the distributed them among the devotees. A grand statue of Bhagwan Hanuman takes centre stage in the sanctum of the temple. inside the temple there are deities of other God and Goddess. Spend some quality time there and watched the sleeping Hanuman hill from the Temple. Do visit this palace and seek blessings. The Temple complex houses a souvenir shop and a light refreshment place for coffee and package snacks. Photo options are breath-taking. Enjoy Jai Hanuman Ji

It is 11 km away from Kandy City & can drive within 30 minutes by privet vehicle. The road condition is very good until top to the Temple car park. This is very newly Build Temple including Stupa, Image house,Bodhi Tree, Golden color Buddhist status and Relics. The view is very beautiful & better to go morning or evening if it is sunny day. Thank you.
