Nagadeepa Rajamaha Viharaya

Reviewed By prashanl2017 - Colombo, Sri Lanka

One of the few places Lord Buddha visited in Sri Lanka, it has a very rich history a must visit also there is a huge kovil 100m away from the temple. Try to avoid during weekends because the boat ride to nagadeepaya is about 20minutes and the boats are not organized at all. During weekends and local school holidays hundreds of people visit the temple so boats are overcrowded and overpacked. Also you can take the boat ride to delft island from the same place but that boat go there only few times a day where as boat to nagadeepaya goes every 30mins. Delft and nagadeepa temple are a must visit in Jaffna
