Activity itinerary

Karambagala
  • 45m
Step back in time at the Karambagala Forest Retreat, nestled in the Suriyawewa Divisional Secretariat. This ancient site is believed to be the Bilivana Vihara mentioned in inscriptions from the reign of King Sri Meghavanna (303-331 AD). The temple, also known as Karandulena due to its resemblance to a relic casket from afar, features caves with Brahmi inscriptions. Discover remnants of ancient art painted in red on a layer of mortar, believed to be linked to a Thera named Cittagutta who resided here for sixty years.

Relax and rejuvenate at the Madunagala Hot Water Springs, set amidst vast paddy fields between Sooriyawawe and Ridiyagama. First documented by Leonard Woolf in the early 20th century, this spring has been transformed into a major tourist attraction. Enjoy four wells with varying temperatures, landscaped surroundings, separate changing rooms, and facilities like a play area, mini zoo, and aquarium for children.
