In the afternoon, continue to Mihintale, one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Sri Lanka. Known as the birthplace of Buddhism in the country, Mihintale sits atop a forested hill with panoramic views. The day ends with a beautiful sunset, creating a calm and spiritual atmosphere as the sun sets over the plains.
