A bare granite outcrop reached by a short, steep scramble from the Ambasthala terrace, with iron handrails set into the rock for the awkward last section. The summit is small and exposed — there is room for maybe twenty people — but the view across the plain to Anuradhapura is the best in the whole site.
Best done at dawn or in late afternoon; the rock gets blisteringly hot underfoot in the middle of the day.
