Kurunegala District Travel Guide

North Western Province

The Stupa of Padeniya Temple
The Stupa of Padeniya Temple
Best place in Kurunegala region to get an amazing panoramic view of the area. It is just a 30 minutes hike from the bottom of the rock. There's a giant 60m tall Buddha statue at the top of the rock as well. It is pretty much the landmark of Kurunegala region. Not a big tourist attraction. But worth a visit if you have some free time.
Sigiriya Rock, Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰 #lifeatexpedia #sigiriya #amazingsrilanka
A common butterfly spotted in my home garden. I was just roaming around my home garden looking for some cool shots of birds and ended up with capturing these butterflies.
