mulkirigala
Tangalle, on the south coast of sri lanka boasts some excellent tourist facilities. One such place is the Mulkirigala temple - almost a duplicate of the rock fortress of sigiriya.
There is a difference though - because Mulkirigala does not have a palace but several buildings layered on different levels of treacherous rock The monastery is roughly 13 miles away from Tangalle and can be reached by vehicle
alone a road that goes through Beliatte. Just off the road, looming through dense foliage, the rock of Mulkirigala rises 692ft in all its majestic glory.
The rock temple is shrouded in the sands of time, its history dating back to thousands of years ago and one certainly gets that feeling when looking at the lovely murals, mellowed with age. There is a monastery for the monks and the
very surroundings of the temple offer absolute oneness with nature. The temple on the rock is certainly worth a glimpse into sri lanka's glorious past. Mulkirigala is an important part of this country's colourful history.
