    This temple is located on a summit of the mountain 30 kms from Nuwara Eliya. This Temple is one of the important Hanuman Temples in Sri Lanka. It is dedicated to the God Hanuman and this is one of important sites of the Ramayana Trail in Sri Lanka. An 18ft statue of Lord Hanuman is the tallest Hanuman statue in Sri Lanka. A grand statue of Bhagwan Hanuman takes centre stage in the sanctum of the temple. This temple was opened around 2001. The management is handled by the Chinmaya Mission of Sri Lanka. The temple building is appealing from the outside and the location of this temple is awesome. The temple timimgs is from 7 AM to 12:45 PM and from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM. The complex also have a big canteen where you can have a food or some snacks. There were some shops selling Sri Lankan coffee, tea and, other spices. We went in the afternoon time and at that time Puja was going on. We attended that Pooja and after that prasadam was distributed. The prasadam taste just like South Indian prasadam and was very tasty.. overall we liked the beauty of this temple, it's location and the lush greenery around it which makes it as a best temple of Sri Lanka and you should not miss it

    This is a very beautiful hindu temple located in the area. In size this is not a huge one but the location is really beautiful. There is a restaurant as well on the location which has really tasty food. You need to dress accordingly to the location and we were not allowed to take our DSLR cameras in as there was a recent incident and they have decided not to allow that.

    Sri Bhakta Hanuman Temple, Nuwara Eliya This temple is located on the Kandy Road, almost 40-50 minutes from Nuwara Eliya. This location in Sri Lanka is a must-see because it is decorated with beautiful natural views. This is thought to have been Hanuman's first stop in Sri Lanka before setting out on his mission to find Goddess Sita after she had been abducted and before giving her Lord Ram's ring. It's a wonderful destination to visit for all "Hanuman bhakts" all over the world because it has a large statue of Lord Hanuman in the center of the temple complex.

    Must visit en route to Nuwara eliya. Peaceful temple amidst a hilly terrain. Watch out for monkeys near the slipper stands in case the assigned staff is away.

    Shri Bhakta Hanuman Temple is built by Chinmaya Mission of Sri Lanka. Located in Ramboda on Kandy-Nuwara Eliya Road located approximately 30 odd kilometers North of Nuwara Eliya on A-5 route facing the Kotmale Reservoir. The Chinmaya Mission is a Hindu spiritual organization engaged in the dissemination of Vedanta, the science of the self as expounded in the Vedas, particularly the Upanishads, and other important Hindu scriptures including the Bhagavad Gita. The Chinmaya Mission was established in India in 1953 by devotees of the renowned Vedanta teacher Swami Chinmayananda. The temple itself is situated about 500m from the main road on a hill having a commanding view of the surrounding area. Legend has it that king Ravana has hid Sita in this area at one time and and Hanuman come to this area in search of her. A good tar road connects the temple and the main road . Three wheelers are normally available to take you from main road to the temple & back. The temple is not too big nor very ornately decorated. The surrounding garden area of the kovil is spotlessly clean and well maintained by the mission. The idol of Hanuman is of black granite and it is carved beautifully and stands tall at 16 feet. You are not permitted to photograph the idol. There is also an ashram containing about 16 rooms, with room names based on characters on the Ramayan – Vibheeshan, Jambavan, Sugriva, etc… A well maintained vegetarian restaurant is maintained at the temple. From the location of the temple one can see the Kotmale Reservoir and the entire Kotmale Valley . The view is simply breathtaking. Even if you are not a religious person visit to this place is strongly recommended just for the scenic beauty and the awesome view one gets from this place. If you are not appropriately dressed, you will not be allowed to enter the temple. If you are visiting Ramboda falls, you can plan a visit to this temple. - Amazing Lanka

    When you visit Nuwaraeliya this place must add in your itinerary old Hindu diety temple in a stunning look on the top of a mountain and surrounding looks to give you a Beauty that never seen by you, cafe restaurant is nearby u can enjoy foods there, avoid to go after 12 o clock temple close and u have to wait until 3 o clock to open. Bare foot temple premises steps tiles are very hot in day time take precautions.

    Easy to miss if you don’t have your eyes peeled. I was greeted by a lovely security guard who informed me the temple was closed and would reopen if 30mins. He also let me know I would need a sarong to cover my legs as I was wearing shorts and it was available to rent for 100rs. This chap had a smile throughout our interaction and even helped me tie the sarong. The temple was beautiful even if the floor was a bit hot to walk on barefoot. There is an amazing restaurant next door too with really tasty vegetarian food. Unlike a lot of religious sites no pushy sales people and definitely not overcrowded. I would definitely recommend going here regardless of your faith it is a must see if in the up country.

    The environment of this temple is very beautiful. The area around the Kotmale Reservoir can be seen very well. It is a temple that is about 100 years old. The temple will be closed for pooja at 11.30 pm. If you are going to watch this, wear clothes that cover the body. Otherwise you will not be allowed to go.
