Belilena Caves

Belilena is a large cave system that holds immense prehistoric significance. Archaeological excavations have revealed skeletal remains, stone tools, and evidence of fire use by the 'Balangoda Man' (Homo sapiens balangodensis). The trek to the cave is an adventure in itself, passing through rubber plantations and jungle. Behind the waterfall that cascades over the cave's entrance, visitors can explore the massive caverns that once served as a home for ancient Sri Lankans. It is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and nature lovers.
