Things to do in Monaragala

  1. Peacock Rock

    A demanding hike is the six-hour round trip to the summit of the densely forested Peacock Rock (to make it appear more peacock-like, drink a couple of bottles of arrack before viewing…). There is no set trail up the mountain and you’ll need a guide, which can be organised through most guest houses for around Rs 800 to 1000. From the summit you can check the surf at Arugam Bay on a clear day.

  2. Ganesh Temple

    This is a colourful little Hindu temple, where the priest will probably be as happy to see you as he would Lord Ganesh himself.
