Yatagala RajaMaha Viharaya

Great place to visit to see historical background of Sri lanka with just few kilometers away from Galle town. Temple is easy to find on the map. There’s bit of stairs to climb to reach the historical cave temple. It’s a very calm and peaceful place there to worship and look around. Sad to see the paintings are not restored properly but theres a lot of paintings are in good condition as well. The temple has the tallest bronze Buddha statue found in sri lanka.

Impressive. Tickets are already 1,000 rupees per person. Definitely worth a visit — they even gave us a tour and told us about the temple.

Not to many steps up to the temple and well worth a visit. Cist 500 Rupees oer person to enter tge temple. Cafe was closed as this as the low season.

Beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Ticket only 500 rupies. Possible to see where the munks leaves and study. Beautiful sleeping buddha and old painting in cave. If you come by car or motorbike its possible to explore the beautiful village near the tempel.

Very beautiful, calm and peaceful place. Entrance 1000 lkr for two adults and a baby. Interesting small excursion and we saw a varan, two monkey and fed dogs. I recommend this place! It impressed. I feel there very comfortable.

Yatagala Rajamaha Viharaya is a temple of ancient value in a very quiet environment. It has ancient caves and stone carved Buddha statues. There is a stone staircase to climb up. It is advisable to wear socks if you go in the midday cause the stones are hot. It is a great place for you to be free. I went there in a public holiday. So its some crowded, but don't worry u can enjoy ur freedom. If you go there, I think morning or evening is the best time.

Beautiful historical palace. Parking available at the entrance of the temple
