Artistic interpretation of Mihintale, Sri Lanka

Rock outcrops, stupas and long views share this pilgrimage hill. It is closely associated with the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka and sits naturally beside a visit to Anuradhapura.

The paths include steps and uneven ground. Build in time to pause, especially in the heat of the day.
