Buddhism’s Birthplace
Mihintale, Sri Lanka
During the 3rd century BC it is said that the King of Anuradhapura was out hunting on Mihintale Hill when Mahinda the son of the great Indian Buddhist Emperor, Mahinda approached him. Their exchange lead to the King converting to Buddhism, the construction of religious monuments, a refectory, hospital and 68 caves. During your visit you will be greeted by many resident macaques, Ambasthale Dagoba, Naga Pokuna (Snake Pond) and after a steep climb, breath-taking panoramic views from meditation rock (Aradhana Gala). Continue to Kaludiya Pokuna (Black Water Pond), a local, ancient monastic site where monks still meditate, hidden in surrounding forest.
