Kurunegala District

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.
