Stunning place. 1600 years ago, monks were gathered here to protect them as the Sinhala king waged war with the Tamil king. Faint rock paintings and the bowl shaped impressions in the rock are from this era. The temple itself is pretty spare, but the massive rock formation and view from it are awe-inspiring. There's one monk living here, and a groundskeeper. we were invited to come back and spend the night there, which would've been amazing if not for the timing of it. maybe next time - i'll be back!
