Endagala Forest Hermitage is situated within an ancient cave temple site on the Udawalawe – Thanamalwila Road. The hermitage has been so named due to a bed carved on a rock underneath a cave. Drip ledges have been carved on all the caves of this hermitage, an indication that this site was occupied by similar forest-dwelling meditating monks thousands of years ago.

A few km along Udawalawe road and 2 km before Thanamalwila Junction there is an area called Komaligama and to the left, there is a road which leads towards Endagala hermitage. Remember that this is a functioning hermitage thus the meditating bikkus should not be disturbed.
