Kurunegala District Travel Guide

North Western Province

The Stupa of Padeniya Temple
The Stupa of Padeniya Temple
Best place in Kurunegala region to get an amazing panoramic view of the area. It is just a 30 minutes hike from the bottom of the rock. There's a giant 60m tall Buddha statue at the top of the rock as well. It is pretty much the landmark of Kurunegala region. Not a big tourist attraction. But worth a visit if you have some free time.

A common butterfly spotted in my home garden. I was just roaming around my home garden looking for some cool shots of birds and ended up with capturing these butterflies.

This is completely made out of stone. Just imagine the talent of the artist. This is the entrance to the ancient kingdom, Yapahuwa. One of the must visit places in Sri Lanka. Yapahuwa is the 4th kingdom here. It is situated in a naturally protected area. So, Kings were able to face their enemies much easier.
