About this activity

Discover one of Sri Lanka’s most mysterious and untouched heritage sites on this Ritigala Forest Tour from Habarana. Escape the crowds and journey into the heart of the Ritigala Strict Nature Reserve, a sacred mountain forest rich in ancient history, biodiversity, and serene landscapes.

Ritigala is home to the ruins of an ancient Buddhist monastery dating back over 2,000 years, hidden deep within a cool, mist-covered forest.
