26 kilometers north of Kandy. Matale, a small town dominated by the Knuckles Mountains, is mainly known for being a junction between the ancient capitals of the country. Matale being relatively close to the various tourist places around, it is finally only a place of passage with few accommodations. However, two temples are worth visiting: the Buddhist monastery of Aluvihara, and the Sri Muthumari Amman, an imposing Hindu temple with bright colors located at the northern exit of the city. One will notice its superb statues of Hindu gods, but also the presence of five splendid procession chariots
