• Habarana - Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka, Habarana enchants visitors with its stunning natural beauty and cultural charm. Surrounded by lush greenery and scenic landscapes, this charming town acts as a gateway to several iconic attractions, including nearby national parks like Minneriya and Kaudulla, famous for their elephant gatherings. Adventure enthusiasts can enjoy exciting safaris or explore ancient sites such as Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple, delving into the island’s rich history and biodiversity.
• Yapahuwa Rock Fortress - The massive rock of Yapahuwa boasts a history dating back to the 13th century when King Buvenekabahu (1273-1284 AD) established it as the seat of his capital. Recognizing its defensive capabilities, he constructed a stone fortress on the rock, which endures the test of time to this day. Visitors can explore the ancient stone ruins and the site where the Sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha was housed during the Yapahuwa era.
• Reswehera (Sesseruwa) Rajamaha Viharaya | රැස්වෙහෙර (සැස්සේරුව) රජ මහා විහාරය - Upon reaching Sasseruwa, visitors will find the Ras Vehera Statue. This lesser-known statue stands almost as tall as the Aukana Buddha at 36 meters, though it remains unfinished. However, the statue’s style is entirely different from the Aukana Buddha. Little is known about its creator or why it was left incomplete, but archaeologists have confirmed it is at least seven centuries old. Visitors can see the remains of the image house where the statue originally stood and view the ruins of the monastic complex and cave temples surrounding the statue.
• Avukana Buddha Statue - The Aukana Buddha Statue, in Asisa Mudra or the “posture of blessing,” is carved from a rock boulder. The statue is carved in the round, connected at the back to the rock boulder. The delicate and skillful carving of the Buddha’s robe elegantly reveals the underlying form of his body, while the face’s serene expression exudes an aura of spiritual supremacy.

It is said that the alignment of the statue is so precise that a raindrop on the nose would fall directly into a small depression carved between the toes. The Aukana Buddha Statue is a masterpiece of a colossal Buddha Statue by an unknown sculptor: the serene expression of the statue, the gracefully carved robe with neat pleats, brings a delicateness that is rarely achieved in rock. The serene expression of the face reflects supreme spirituality.
