Lakegala, there are many hidden places in our country with very ancient history…
“Lakegala” can be mentioned as one such place. Located in the Matale district, this place is strongly associated with the name Ravana.
Scholars are of the opinion that King Ravana had a sky testing station on top of this rock and because of its natural location, King Ravana used this as a natural fortress.
Legends say that this was used as a natural pyramid during the Great Ravana era. The speciality of this Lakegala is that it is a black stone that changes when you look at it.
That is, after looking at this mountain once, even if you go a few feet forward and look back, the shape of this mountain has undergone some change. It is difficult to climb this mountain due to its natural location…
The physical features of the people living near here are similar to the physical features of the ancient Yaksha tribes and the people of Lakegala still worship King Ravana with great devotion.
