Ritigala

Wander through the mystical Ritigala–an ancient Buddhist monastery located deep within Sri Lanka's forest-covered mountain range. The remains of meditation halls, pathways made of stone, and monastic ponds are surrounded by a rich variety of plant life and greenery. Ritigala is famous for its peaceful setting as well as the spiritual power of the site offering an opportunity for peaceful solitude away from modern day distractions while providing an experience that combines history and nature with an opportunity for developing one's own personal practice of meditation.
