Tour Plan
The Kalutara Vihara is a Buddhist temple built in the 1960s which holds the distinction of being the only shrine in the world that is hollow. It is three stories high. Kalutara temple is one of the country’s most holy places of worship and attracts the South west Buddhist community as well as tourists. Inside the Dagoba is a magnificent array of paintings describing the stories of Buddha.
Lunuganga Estate was the country home of the renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. In 1947 the garden led Bawa to decide to become an architect. As he went on to become Sri Lanka’s and one of Asia’s most prolific and influential architects, the garden at the Lunuganga estate remained his first muse and experimental laboratory for new ideas. Bawa continued to change and experiment with the garden’s spaces and structures throughout his life until his final illness in 1998. The gardens are now open to the public and the buildings on the estate are run as a country house hotel.

Exploring the serene Kalutara Temple was a highlight for us, with its stunning architecture and peaceful atmosphere offering a glimpse into local spirituality. While Lunuganga Estate dazzled with its lush gardens and artistic design, we did find the guided pace a bit rushed at times, leaving us wanting a little more time to soak it all in.

Wandering through the lush gardens of the estate was a delightful escape, where the blend of nature and art truly captivated me. The temple visit offered a serene moment of reflection, although I wished for a bit more time to absorb the tranquil atmosphere before moving on.

We had such a fantastic day exploring the temple and enjoying the stunning estate, where the blend of nature and art was truly inspiring. The intricate architecture and tranquil surroundings at the first stop left us speechless, although the heat made it a bit challenging at times. The highlight for us was definitely strolling through the gardens, where we could take in the breathtaking views and snap some great photos together—definitely a worthwhile experience overall!
