Reviewed By malwana - Colombo, Sri Lanka

The 2nd century BC temple complex is located on the Balangoda - Kaltota road approximately 24 km away from the Balangoda town. There is bit of hiking and climbing to reach the top. But once you reach the top the view is amazing and also the cave entrance and the remaning stucture of the stupa is there at the top.

Maduwanwela Walawwa

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka

This is the bungalow of the local leader of this area around British ruling era. He acted against English and had good praise from the local people. This used to be a huge bungalow with over 100 rooms, but now a small portion of it remains. It’s informative and certainly worth a visit if you happen to be in the neighborhood. No entry tickets. A parking area is available but drive carefully from entrance to parking lot since the gravel road is in pretty bad state. Some officials from the archeological department are available there. Ask them for information, they’ll guide you. No point of just visiting without proper information on each section of the property. It take around 40 mins to complete the tour.
