Ritigala Rock and Ancient Gardens

Ritigala is the highest mountain mass of the North Central Plains, 1000 meters above sea level. Today a Strict Nature Reserve, it was used as a fortress even from pre-Christian times. The paved path s, stone bridges over brooks and stone pillars tell the story of a monastery that existed here restored by hermit monks.
