    here every full moon day, which is witnessed by thousands of devotees.

oaths is a common ritual here.

  • The next day, after an enjoyable breakfast, you will be
    driven to Ella (about 40 minutes’ drive) to visit the Ravana Falls and the
    Ravana Cave.

    Ravana Falls is a breathtaking sight – 1080 feet high and
    cascading into several mini falls. Near these Falls, several caves had formed,
    in which King Ravana is believed to have lived. When you enter the Ravana Cave
    tunnels, the architectural brilliance of King Ravana can be seen very clearly. These
    tunnels were a secret passage and also a means of transport through the hills.

     After the visit to the caves, you will be driven directly
    to Tissamaharama and on your request, we will arrange a breath-taking wild safari
    tour of the Yala National Park.

    If you are not interested in going on a safari tour, you

    you will be driven to Kataragama to visit the Kataragama shrine – dedicated to
    God Skanda (the God of Love and War). In July every year, a 10-day festival
    takes place here with a grand procession in which devotees’ exhibit talents
    such as hanging from hooks and other similar performances.

    Thereafter, you will be driven to
    Ussangoda, situated on the Colombo – Kataragama road near Ambalantota –
    Nonagama Junction in Hambantota District. Here you will be able to view a burnt
