It is just a 30 minutes hike from the bottom of the rock. There's a giant 60m tall Buddha statue at the top of the rock as well. It is pretty much the landmark of Kurunegala region. Not a big tourist attraction. But worth a visit if you have some free time. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6201386/21a4feaa-91c2-4a18-9502-0c5a04b79ed5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Kurunegala Attractions Let Expedia help you experience the best that Kurunegala has to offer!
