Sprawling forested ruins โ moonstones, twin ponds (Kuttam Pokuna) and the towering brick dome create one of Anuradhapura's most atmospheric walks.
An hour-long climb past ancient refectories, the Kantaka Chetiya and the Ambasthala Dagaba to the rock-cut summit, where the views over the Cultural Triangle plain are breathtaking.
A 20-minute climb past mischievous macaques delivers you to the cave entrances. Inside, painted ceilings curve overhead and gilded reclining Buddhas seem to glow in the lamplight.
Carved entirely from rock with a distinctive stone dagoba; the granite craftsmanship is unmatched in the region.
Stand inside the Drummers' Hall (Hevisi Mandapaya) and let the eye trace each pillar โ no two carvings are identical.
