Haldumulla on the Balangoda - Badulla road, Sri Lanka.

The highway through the town.

A hill towering over the town.

Shoppers.
The town of Haldumulla was a ramshackle affair about 50 years ago. It is now a place full of shops and boutiques catering to the travelers on the road to Badulla.

Scenes around the Dowa Rock Temple, Badulla, Sri Lanka.

The stream behind the temple.

The 'Aawasa' - Monk's residence.

The highway in front.

The Kilometer post.
The highway in front and a stream behind give this ancient rock temple a quaint beauty. Monkeys playing on the branches of the trees there and the different types of bird life are other added attractions.
