Maligawila
The Green Guide
The Michelin Guide's review
A path, cleared in lovely forest, links two imposing statues depicting the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and Buddha. The ruins are somewhat less breathtaking since the construction of a protective roof which means they are always in the shade, but they nonetheless continue to impress. The only tangible remains of a 7C religious complex, they were saved from the encroaching jungle by reconstructing sparse fragments.
