Overview
Mihintale is a sacred mountain near Anuradhapura where Buddhism was first introduced to Sri Lanka in 247 BC. This peaceful site is a major pilgrimage destination, rich with ancient ruins, rock stairways, and panoramic views.
Climb over 1,800 stone steps to reach white stupas, the massive Mihindu Cave, and the grand Mahaseya Dagoba. Along the way, you’ll pass serene forest shrines and sweeping views of the surrounding plains.
Mihintale offers more than history—it provides a spiritual journey through serene landscapes and sacred spaces.
