What To Expect
Mulgirigala Raja Maha Vihara
Mulkirigala Raja Maha Vihara (also known as Mulgirigala Raja Maha Vihara) is an ancient Buddhist temple in Mulkirigala, Sri Lanka. It has been built on a 205 m (673 ft) high natural rock, surrounded with another four rocks known as Benagala, Kondagala, Bisogala and Seelawathiegala. Clamber in a sweat up the 500 or so steps and you’ll encounter a series of seven cleft-like caves on five different terraced levels. Housed in the caves are a number of large reclining Buddha statues interspersed with smaller sitting and standing figures.
Wewurukannala Vihara
A 50m-high seated Buddha figure – the largest in Sri Lanka – is a highlight of this somewhat gaudy temple, which is often thronged with worshippers. Before reaching the Buddha you pass through a hall of horrors full of life-sized models of demons and sinners. The punishments depicted include being dunked in boiling cauldrons, sawn in half and disembowelled.

More Than a Driver—A True Sri Lankan Experience
ranrangan,Apr 21, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an incredible experience with Shehan starting with a sightseeing tour in Tangalle. From the very beginning, he was extremely punctual, and his car was in excellent condition—clean, comfortable, and reliable. What truly stood out was his kindness and the utmost care he took with our infant. Traveling with a little one can be stressful, but Shehan made us feel completely at ease throughout the sightseeing. He is also a wealth of information, sharing great insights about the local culture and history. We were so impressed that we booked him again for our trip to Galle and our final transfer from Weligama to Colombo airport. As a thoughtful finishing touch, he even went out of his way to get us authentic Sri Lankan curry powders because we loved the local food so much! If you are looking for a professional, friendly, and family-oriented guide, do not hesitate to contact him. Highly recommended!"

5.00We initially booked Shehan for just one trip, but after experiencing his professionalism, we ended up booking him for our excursions to Galle and our final transfer from Weligama to Colombo Airport. There are several reasons why Shehan stands out: • Punctuality & Communication: He was extremely punctual and his communication was top-notch. Everything was clear from the start, which made our planning stress-free. • Vehicle Comfort: The vehicles were in pristine condition and thoughtfully equipped with water and pillow cushions—small details that made a big difference in comfort. • Family Friendly: Traveling with an infant can be challenging, but Shehan was incredibly mindful and patient, ensuring our little one was safe and comfortable throughout the journey. • Going Above and Beyond: He is a very polite and friendly person. He even went out of his way to source authentic Sri Lankan curry powder for us upon our request! Shehan is an extremely trustworthy and genuine guy. We didn’t just find a reliable driver; we feel like we made a true friend in Sri Lanka. If you are looking for a seamless and high-quality travel experience, look no further than Shehan.

5.00Amazing trip where our guide Shehan was very knowledgeable, thorough to show us everything whilst also being flexible with our preferences and needs. We saw an incredible amount and were truely guided through the temples and sights. Wanted to make extra stops such as to a souvenir shop and were never rushed even though it was late in the evening. A very pleasant day, the best of our Sri Lanka trip.

5.00We travelled to Sri Lanka last month in April 22 with my family (4 adults and 2 kids). Shehan was amazingly helpful, from our pick up at Colombo’s airport up to the drop off. He and his brother are really resourceful, providing us with safe transfers and taxi rides, good infos on what to see and where to eat. He helped us in providing the freshest sea food any time we required. We can’t wait to come back to this marvelous country. Highly recommended, keep up the good job Shehan (from the French family from Laos and Tanzania)
