Hiking to Belilena Cave in Kitulgala

Embark on a guided hike to the legendary Belilena Cave, a hidden gem nestled in the lush landscapes of Kitulgala. This ancient cave holds deep historical significance, as archaeologists discovered evidence of Sri Lanka’s earliest use of fire here—tracing back 18,000 years.

As you trek through the dense jungle, the journey unfolds with breathtaking scenery and the soothing sounds of nature. Upon reaching the cave, take a moment to absorb its mysterious charm before indulging in a refreshing dip beneath the cascading waterfall that gently veils its entrance.
