| Sri Padaya
As I said in previous article, this is the Sri Padaya which is known as Adam's Peak too.This is very valuable for the Buddhists as this is the place of where sacred footprint of Lord Buddha is situated.
Sri Pada is first mentioned (as `Samanthakuta') in the Deepawamsa,[citation needed] the earliest Pali chronicle, (4th century), and also in the 5th century chronicle Mahawamsa, where it is stated that the Buddha visited the mountain peak. The chronicle Rajavaliya states that the King Valagamba (1st century BCE) had taken refuge in the forests of Adam's Peak against invaders from India, and later returned to Anuradhapura. The Mahawamsa again mentions the visit of King Vijayabahu I (1058–1114) to the mountain. The famous Chinese pilgrim and Buddhist traveler Fa Hien stayed in Sri Lanka in 411–12 CE and mentions Sri Pada although it is not made clear whether he actually visited it. (copied from Wikipedia)

 |
| Pidurangala Rock |
This amazing rock also situated in Matale district and also very close to Sigiriya (The Lion Rock) that I have wrote an article to before this. (Click to read my article about Sigirya). Actually before you climb the Pidurangala rock, you can visit Pidurangala Vihara (temple). This is an ancient Buddhist temple.According to historical books, King kashyapa, Who built the kingdom of Sigirya, had made this amazing temple.
