Mihintale is a magical, sacred place. It’s here where the buddhist monk Mahinda introduced the teachings of Buddha to the island of Sri Lanka, forever shaping its spiritual heritage.
There are three tops that you can climb. One with the buddha, another one with the big stoepa and a viewpoint. The sceneries are amazing.
The best time to go is at sunrise or sunset as the sky is coloured magically, and the view is amazing.
