  Best place to calm the mind and have a rest around Gampaha. Fauna and flora diversity around the premises is remarkable. Great scenarios with great views. Have unique calmness around the temple.

  Quiet place with a historic value. 20 to 30 minute walk from the temple at the base will take you to the top of the rock, where a small pagoda is located. This place offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area.
