Athagala

An atmospheric rock-cut staircase winds up Athagala, a large black rock outcrop on the eastern side of the city, to offer fine city views from a 22m-tall white Buddha statue. A road also winds up to the same spot. On the way up you pass a small monastery, the Ibbagala Vihara. A three-wheeler to the top costs Rs 700 return.
