Established in 1734, Kande Vihare is officially recognized as an archaeological site by the Sri Lankan government. It is renowned for its 160-foot tall Gautama Buddha Statue, one of the tallest in Sri Lanka. Despite numerous architectural modifications, the temple grounds have remained unchanged since ancient times.

Visitors can observe exotic wildlife such as crocodiles, water monitors, lizards, and various bird species. The highlight of the tour is the unique fish therapy experience.

• Ahungalla Sea Turtles Conservation And Research Center - Sri Lanka is home to numerous endangered species, including the fascinating sea turtles. Of the seven turtle species worldwide, five can be found in Sri Lanka: the Green Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, Leatherback Turtle, Loggerhead Turtle, and Olive Ridley Turtle.
