Description

Considered to be the Batadombalena Cave, this beautiful place has a cave and a beautiful waterfall. It is considered to be inhabited by ancient humans. Located in the Kuruwita area in the Ratnapura District, it is one of the most important archeological sites in Sri Lanka where evidence of prehistoric man has been found. This cave is located at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level. The cave is 75 feet long, 30 feet high, and 15 feet wide. A large number of evidences of human beings who lived 35,000 years ago have been found here.

Today it is a human division with an advanced brain that lived tens of thousands of years ago in prehistoric times. It has been confirmed that human beings from Balangoda also lived in this place. They are world famous as the first human beings to be found in Sri Lanka among the peoples of the world with advanced brains.

They have been found to be among the first people in the world to use sharp weapons. Balangoda Man's internationally accepted name is Homo erectus balangodensis.

Route : from Kuruwita on Siripagama road. After about 4 km you will come across a nameplate saying "Batadombalena" on the left-hand side. To reach the cave you have to go up another 1.5 km from there. The beauty of this road from rubber plantations to caves in the middle of the jungle is indescribable. The river road meets the road, making the journey even more beautiful. After a nice half hour walk we came to the cave.

You can visit this beautiful cave. Also, unlike the modern humans who have their own names here, keep this beautiful environment just as beautiful and clean.
