Optional Visit: Ritigala Ancient Monastery: Ritigala Strict Nature Reserve is located in the dry zone of the island, Ritigala is one of the few high altitude forests, encompassing an area of 1,528.1 hectares and was declared a Strict Natural Reserve in 1941. Since it is home to species which are rare and possibly extinct from the region, and also because its isolation provides ideal conditions for the evolution of species, the conservation of such ecosystem is extremely important. Located in the Anuradhapura district, of the North Central Province, Ritigala is named after Riti (Antiaristoxicaria), a type of tree found in the mid portion of the slopes Ritigala, the highest isolated hill ranges in Sri Lanka, with nothing but the flat lands of the central Sri Lanka surrounding it. Quartzite and Marble rocks dating back almost 2000 million years, are found in the Ritigala Mountains. It consists of 3 separate peaks, namely, “Kodigala” kanda in the northern block and the “Wannati-kanda” and “Aushada-kanda” in the southern block.
