To reach the Bingelanda Caves, one needs to get to Meegahakivula and take the Ketawatta road for one mile. After you reach the Akurukaduwa Gramaseva office take the road towards Galkada and get in touch with a villager who is knowledgeable about these caves and willing to act as your local guide.
One needs to go forward 2 km along above mentioned Galkada road and climb a mountain to reach this huge cave which lies on top of it. You would need a local guide for this though. It is said that this cave has connections with Denagala Rajamaha Viharaya , Ran puhulawala, Walapane, Senkadagala and Seegiriya. It is also believed that King Walagamba used this during his hiding.
