What to expect

  1. Mihintale
    3h · Admission ticket not included
    The Mihintale Wildlife Sanctuary, which is believed to be the first sanctuary in the world. Mihintale Mountain, with the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, began to serve as a residential area for the venerable monks headed by Arahath Mahinda Mahathera. With the growth of the community of monks and the pious laymen, there arose the inevitable need of a hospital. The first hospital at Mihintale was founded by King Sena the second (853-887 AC) at Mihintale. The identification was based on a tenth century inscription found at the site. Today, the ruins of a hospital with its layout restored can be seen at the entrance to the site of Mihintale.
