A place of the balangoda man who was lived 40000 years back from today. Very ancient and archeaological place which was located near to kithulgala town. Mainly the last turn you get from A7 main road to the cave, it may difficult to get access because of the rough road with more than cracks. Its better you may go motor bike or jeeps or such kind vehicles. End of the narrow road you can find a dilapidated culvert.so thats the end of your vehicle path.now you take more time to climb by your legs.You can reach the destination in about 15 minutes. Not crowded place and you can enjoy your own way.No more disturbing. Feel the nature and please dont destroy and polute it.. have a good time with a balangida man.

Had an unplanned visit to Belilena on my way to Aberdeen fall. Few minutes walk from the main road. Have few remaining of an old temple. Next to the cave is a beautiful waterfall. Behind the water fall is another huge cave. Most people might miss this if not go behind the cave. May not need to plan a trip here but can drop by when you are heading to kithulgala. Need archaeological dept attention on this place. Worth the visit.

Belilena cave is an ancient place which is well known. The location is clearly shown in the maps. However, you cannot take this route with a normal vehicle. Need a high ground clearance. Once you get close, you can park the car on the closest village and take a 15 minute walk. Totally worth it.

Belilena is a large cave in Sri Lanka, located 8 km (5.0 mi) from the town of Kitulgala. Evidence of prehistoric human presence as early as 32,000 years ago was recorded at the site. This place difficult to access by light vehicle due road conditions.recommended to hire the off road vehicle. Best place to visit

Belilena is a very large cave, in which the 12,000-year-old skeletal remains of the prehistoric ‘Balangoda man’ has been found. To reach the cave, have to walk through the jungle, close to the Inoya estate (approx. 8 km from Kitulgala itself). Located 2000 feet above sea level, the Belilena Cave lies amidst picturesque environment close to K'gala. Nevertheless, when there is less or no crowd you may meet a person seems an innocent villager, who agrees to provide you with kithul treacle and jaggery. Hence, pl do not pay before-hand since he is escaping in no time...
