The World Peace Walk in Mawanella

By Days of Iru and Opa

Mawanella, on the road between Kandy and Colombo, has a quiet peace pagoda and walk that few travellers stop for. It is a calm, reflective spot in the hills away from the main sights.

What to expect

The white peace pagoda and the walk around it are meant for quiet reflection, with views over the surrounding greenery. It is the kind of place you visit to slow down rather than to tick off a landmark.

Good to know

It sits close to the main Kandy road, so it is an easy short detour. Keep it low-key and respectful, as it is a place of worship.
