It is much crowded during poya days and Sundays. So if you want to relax your mind and go for peace of mind, avoid those days. Parking is available a bit far off the bridge.

One of the most recognized places in Kalutara specifically among buddhists. Situated either side of the Colombo Galle main road. Has a scenic view adding to it’s religious importance. One of the rare places where you find a ‘chithya’ inside another and you can walk inside it
