Kantharodai is a highly significant and mysterious archaeological site. It features a cluster of over sixty miniature coral stone stupas scattered across a peaceful garden, unlike anything else found in Sri Lanka.

The site proves the ancient presence of Buddhism in the northern peninsula long before the colonial eras. The serene, uncrowded atmosphere offers a tranquil experience amidst rich ancient history.
