Kurunegala- Arankale

For those who seek for some escape from noisy, busyand polluted urbanized areas, Arankale is an ideal site. Huge trees with their long stretched roots, various types of creepers hanging from them and pleasant environment with noises of insects and birds creates a forestry atmosphere.

To reach this one has to take Kurunegala- Dambulla Road up to Ibbagamuwa.From Ibbagamuwa take Ibbagamuwa-Moragollagama road and follow it for about 10km. On the left there is a small name board which can be hardly seen from a vehicle.  This narrow road goes through a calm rural area with paddy fields, villages and small forestry areas. There are some ruins of ancient meditation halls and meditation platforms and several other buildings.
