Stop At: Danthure, Sri Lanka
Danthure is rarely visited. The village temple called Danthure Rajamaha Viharaya is actually only small and not spectacular.

Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Dodamwala, Sri Lanka
The Vishnu shrine in Dodanwela once kept the crown of the Kandyan kings, which was the outcome of a vow given prior to a victoriuous battle against the Portuguese in the nearby Danthure. The Vishnu Devale of Dodanwela resembles the more famous one in Kandy.
