Itinerary description

This is a short, but terrific nature walk to explore the ancient Kudumbigala Monastery, built in the third century BC. There is a fantastic view from the ancient stupa on top of the highest mountain, the trail to the north. Many go for the sunset view. This is an active monastic community, so please keep it quiet, meditative and clean and be respectful of the customs and rules.
