Ambasthala is nicely located in a saddle of the Mihintale hills.

Mihintale offers far more than what can be found in standard guidebooks. This trip has been crafted to encompass not only Mihintale’s renowned religious site, where Buddhism was first introduced to Sri Lanka, but also less-frequented, nearby areas, and further attractions to Mihintale’s north. A local lunch is part of the package.
