Highlights
- Mulgirigala Raja Maha Vihara - Mulkirigala Raja Maha Vihara (also known as Mulgirigala Raja Maha Vihara) is an ancient Buddhist temple in Mulkirigala, Sri Lanka. It has been built on a 205 m (673 ft) high natural rock, surrounded with another four rocks known as Benagala, Kondagala, Bisogala and Seelawathiegala. Clamber in a sweat up the 500 or so steps and you’ll encounter a series of seven cleft-like caves on five different terraced levels. Housed in the caves are a number of large reclining Buddha statues interspersed with smaller sitting and standing figures. - Wewurukannala Vihara - A 50m-high seated Buddha figure – the largest in Sri Lanka – is a highlight of this somewhat gaudy temple, which is often thronged with worshippers. Before reaching the Buddha you pass through a hall of horrors full of life-sized models of demons and sinners. The punishments depicted include being dunked in boiling cauldrons, sawn in half and disembowelled. - Hiriketiya Beach - Hiriketiya Beach Sri Lanka, also known as Hiriketiya Bay, is a stunning surf spot located in the South - Hummanaya Blow Hole - Hummanaya Blowhole is the only known blowhole in Sri Lanka and it is considered to be the second largest blowhole in the world. “Hummanaya” ( the blow hole ) refers to the noise, “hoo”, that can be heard a distance away when the blowhole is active. Hummanaya is a natural blowhole, and caused when sea water rushes through a submerged cavern and is pushed upwards. The sea water flows underneath the shore, and then comes out of this hole due to pressure. The water fountain created by the geological feature shoots up every couple of minutes, depending on the nature of the sea, with the spray often reaching as high as 25 m (82 ft) to 30 m (98 ft)

Resourceful and reliable local guide - We travelled to Sri Lanka last month in April 22 with my family (4 adults and 2 kids). Shehan was amazingly helpful, from our pick up at Colombo’s airport up to the drop off. He and his brother are really resourceful, providing us with safe transfers and taxi rides, good infos on what to see and where to eat. He helped us in providing the freshest sea food any time we required.
We can’t wait to come back to this marvelous country.
Highly recommended, keep up the good job Shehan (from the French family from Laos and Tanzania)

The best tour guide in Sri Lanka ❤️ - We explored Tangalle and much more. Went to see the Blow hole and the Blue island. Then watched the sunset on the Hiriketiya beach. Local tour guide Shehan showed us some pretty cool secret spots ❤️ We enjoyed it, highly recommend!
