Devanagala: The Old Rock Fortress Near Mawanella
By Days of Iru and Opa
Devanagala is a rock hill near Mawanella tied to the history of the men who once guarded the sacred Tooth Relic. It combines a bit of a climb with old inscriptions and a wide view from the top.
What to expect
A climb up the rock brings you to historic stone inscriptions and a broad view over the Kegalle countryside. It is a mix of light hike and heritage rather than a polished tourist site.
Good to know
Wear shoes with grip, as the rock can be slick. Go in the cooler part of the day, since the climb is exposed.
