Yes, Ritigala is exactly what you are looking for. It is an ancient Buddhist monastery hidden deep within a strict nature reserve jungle. You hike up paved stone paths through ancient medicinal forests. It is incredibly atmospheric, covered in moss, and you will likely be the only people there. Perfect for moody landscape photography.

Bring mosquito repellent for Ritigala. The jungle canopy is very thick and damp.

Yapahuwa is another great one. It is a rock fortress like Sigiriya but way less crowded and has a stunning ornamental staircase.
