Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures.
History
Eight miles east of Anuradhapura, close to the Anuradhapura - Trincomalee Road is situated the "Missaka Pabbata" which is 1,000 feet (300m) in height and is one of the peaks of a mountainous range. Geographically, the mountain range consists of three main hills: Ambastala, Plateau of the Mango, Rajagiri, Mountain of the King, and Aanaikuddy, the Mountain of the Elephant. The word 'Aanaikuddy' is Tamil. Thus, this mountain range should have some connection with the Tamils, probably the Tamil Buddhist Monks.
According to Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa, Thera Mahinda came to Sri Lanka from India on the full moon day of the month of Poson (June) and met King Devanampiyatissa and the people, and preached the doctrine. The traditional spot where this meeting took place is revered by the Buddhists of Sri Lanka. Therefore, in the month of Poson, Buddhists make their pilgrimage to Anuradhapura and Mihintale.

Mihintale - The Cradle of Sinhala Buddhist Civilization
Mihintale is a rocky hill where the first Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka is located and is also considered the world's first sanctuary.
Arahat Mahinda Maha Thero converted king Devanampiyatissa to a Buddhist at this historical site in the 3rd century B.C.
This led Buddhism to be the official religion of the state, thus making Mihintale the cradle of Sinhala Buddhist Civilization.

Not enough cash in Anuradhapura / Mihintale - Sri Lanka
The sacred city of Anuradhapura and Sunset at Mihintale! We spent two days there and used Anuradhapura as a base. We did not pay 20 dollars to visit Anuradhapura but did some cheap and free things to do in the area, all on foot. What about Mihintale? It should be on your list but something happened at the ticket office :D ! The entry was 1000 sri lankan rupies for each!

Sunset in Mihintale - The Birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka | SRI LANKA SERIES
After leaving the Safari Camp in Wilpattu National Park, we headed for sunset at the Buddhist Temple Site of Mihintale near Anuradhapura. If you would ask us about our favorite spots in Sri Lanka, you will hear us rave about Mihintale. In our opinion, this sacred place is a must-see destination in Sri Lanka! This hidden gem is easy to combine with Anuradhapura, the ancient capital of Sri Lanka since it’s only about 15km away.
It’s best to discover Mihintale in the early morning or at sunset to avoid the burning sun. We personally recommend doing the climb in the afternoon. This way you get to enjoy the beautiful views of the green rice fields with a beautiful orange-pinkish-colored sky. Mihintale is known to be the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, making it an important place of pilgr...

After filming Anuradhapura's episode in the morning, I headed out to Mihintale to see the sunset. Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.

ABOUT ME:
In 2013, I started my solo travel journey, leaving Indonesia in 2016 to become a full-time traveler and YouTube creator. My background in International Relations has fueled a profound interest in exploring different countries. My content focuses on exploring different cultures through the lens of a solo female traveler, aiming to capture real-life interactions and experiences.
My travels kicked off with a five-month trip across Asia, after which I moved to China in January 2017 to work as an English teacher—my first time living abroad. I left China in 2018 to fully commit to creating videos on YouTube, where I share my travels and the cultures I encounter.
Living nomadically since 2016, I settled in England in early 2022 after marrying my British husband, David. Now based in the UK, I continue to travel and share my adventures on YouTube.
Mihintale - The Cradle of Sinhala Buddhist Civilization
Mihintale is a rocky hill where the first Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka is located and is also considered the world's first sanctuary.
Arahat Mahinda Maha Thero converted king Devanampiyatissa to a Buddhist at this historical site in the 3rd century B.C.
This led Buddhism to be the official religion of the state, thus making Mihintale the cradle of Sinhala Buddhist Civilization.

The sacred city of Anuradhapura and Sunset at Mihintale! We spent two days there and used Anuradhapura as a base. We did not pay 20 dollars to visit Anuradhapura but did some cheap and free things to do in the area, all on foot. What about Mihintale? It should be on your list but something happened at the ticket office :D ! The entry was 1000 sri lankan rupies for each!

After leaving the Safari Camp in Wilpattu National Park, we headed for sunset at the Buddhist Temple Site of Mihintale near Anuradhapura. If you would ask us about our favorite spots in Sri Lanka, you will hear us rave about Mihintale. In our opinion, this sacred place is a must-see destination in Sri Lanka! This hidden gem is easy to combine with Anuradhapura, the ancient capital of Sri Lanka since it’s only about 15km away.
It’s best to discover Mihintale in the early morning or at sunset to avoid the burning sun. We personally recommend doing the climb in the afternoon. This way you get to enjoy the beautiful views of the green rice fields with a beautiful orange-pinkish-colored sky. Mihintale is known to be the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, making it an important place of pilgrimage for followers. Regardless of your beliefs, this temple complex has something truly magical. Its scattered white stupas on the green hills, burning incense, Buddhist chants, and overall atmosphere make it a unique experience. Make sure to stop by this scenic mountain summit, you will not be disappointed! #srilanka #mihintale #travelvlog #anuradhapura #buddhism

Mihintale is a mountain peak near Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It is believed by Sri Lankans to be the site of a meeting between the Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa which inaugurated the presence of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It is now a pilgrimage site, and the site of several religious monuments and abandoned structures.
History
Eight miles east of Anuradhapura, close to the Anuradhapura - Trincomalee Road is situated the "Missaka Pabbata" which is 1,000 feet (300m) in height and is one of the peaks of a mountainous range. Geographically, the mountain range consists of three main hills: Ambastala, Plateau of the Mango, Rajagiri, Mountain of the King, and Aanaikuddy, the Mountain of the Elephant. The word 'Aanaikuddy' is Tamil. Thus, this mountain range should have some connection with the Tamils, probably the Tamil Buddhist Monks.
According to Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa, Thera Mahinda came to Sri Lanka from India on the full moon day of the month of Poson (June) and met King Devanampiyatissa and the people, and preached the doctrine. The traditional spot where this meeting took place is revered by the Buddhists of Sri Lanka. Therefore, in the month of Poson, Buddhists make their pilgrimage to Anuradhapura and Mihintale.
