Take a tour to the Kande Viharaya Temple to visit this historic site in Dharga Town.

It’s better to go to this place an hour or two before sunset, plan to spend around 3 hours. You will have enough time to walk around and look at all the different buildings and places, next take a walk around the old Bodhi tree and sit down at sunset time for the monks prayers.

Every now and then a small boat stops next to you where you get the opportunity to hold a baby monkey and or a baby freshwater crocodile in your arms. 

Especially, the people at the coastline were left with nothing after the decline of the water. Where once had been houses, there were only rubble heaps. The story will be told by the owner of the museum, who previously lived at the exact same spot where the museum stands today before the tsunami.

Not only show the photos rubble piles, destroyed roads and vehicles but also the people who fell victim to the tidal wave. This visit lets you imagine the unimaginable event and empathize with the all the people having to go through such a catastrophy.

The museum is free of charge but there is a donation box for voluntary donations. 

After the museum we will stop at the Tsunami monument & Buddha statue.
