-Mulgirigalla Rock Temple
Situated 35 minutes north of Tangalle, Mulgirigalla is a monastic site on an isolated 210m-high rock which rises almost vertically out of the surrounding forest. The rock was the site of an important discovery – the ola-leaf scripts discovered in the 19th century. These scripts offered a key to the translation of Sri Lanka’s most informative ancient text, the “Mahavamsa”.
-Turtle Watching at Rekawa and Turtle Conservation Project
Just 30 minutes east of Tangalle, Rekawa is renowned for its long, undisturbed beaches and mangrove skirted lagoons. The beach near Rekawa is one of Sri Lanka’s most important marine turtle nesting sites where five of the world's seven species of marine turtle come ashore to nest throughout the year.
