Decsription

<ul>Kudumbigala is an ancient cave monastery complex with more than 200 caves built by King Devanampiyatissa in the 2nd century BC. The hermit monks who engaged in deep meditation are characteristic of this monastery today. As a result of that Kudumbigala has a very calm and quiet spiritual atmosphere.<br>
Hike to the top of the Kudumbigala is an interesting nature walk with lots of wildlife. It is about a 2 hours hike. The view from the top is amazing. It is located inside the Kumana national park, 26 km south of Arugam Bay. </ul>
