Colombo > Habarana > Trincomalee > Pulmudei road > Turn to Girihadu Seya road after 45 kmAccording to legend Girihandu Seya is considered as the first dagoba(Stupa) in Sri Lanka. After enlightenment Lord Buddha spent 7 weeks and in the 50th day Thapassu and Balluka offered the first alms giving and requested some hair relic to worship. As merchants they had to cross Sri Lanka also.So they built a dagoba in Thiriyaya. It is surrounded by the jungle and you can see lot of wild animals in temple area.
