Buduruwagala Temple

Next to the city of Wellawaya are the ruins of Buduruwagala, being a fundamental junction in the south of the island. You leave with a tuk tuk from the station, this costs more or less 400Rs and there they will wait for you while you visit.The entrance cost is 200Rs which is for "the conservation of the site" and it is the monks who will charge you which I found strange, as it is assumed that Buddhist monks cannot touch mone. There are about 10km from Wellawaya, up a trail of dirt from the main road from Matara to Wellawaya. The place itself is beautiful, it is an ancient Buddhist temple, with seven statues of the Buddha and other gods.
