Our chauffeur Dimuth took us to the ancient temple located top of a huge rock near Colombo, we spend our last evening in srilanka on top, we could see around Colombo and beautiful sunset. Very historical place in a village hidden area.

This is a gorgeous Buddhist temple with amazing art work. Take your time and allow at least an hour for the visit. Be sure to also allow time to study the art work in the museum.

This is a very beautiful temple to worship the Lord Buddha. A very sacred area and shoes must be removed of course, however they are removed before you enter the grounds which are quite extensive so do remember to wear socks as the sand and paving stones can be very very hot! There are places around where worshippers leave flowers and gifts for the Buddha and pray. Inside the temple there is a marvellous gold sleeping Buddha covered with the finest muslin or silk. The frescos are very old and tell the story of the temple. A very beautiful sacred place.

One of the most recognized places in Kalutara specifically among buddhists. Situated either side of the Colombo Galle main road. Has a scenic view adding to it’s religious importance. One of the rare places where you find a ‘chithya’ inside another and you can walk inside it

10. Gangaramaya (Vihara) Buddhist Temple

Located on the Beira Lake, Gangaramaya temple is built in an unusual mix of Indian, Thai, Chinese and Sri Lankan architectural styles. The temple complex comprises a cluster of shrines that surround a peaceful courtyard, with a dagoba at the centre. The museum just off the courtyard displays various gifts donated to the temple over the years, ranging from Buddhist statues to vintage cars. As with any Buddhist temple, visitors must first take off their shoes before entering; however, the floor tends to get heated very quickly, so it is wise to take a pair of socks with you.
