Rathmalkanda VIPASSANA Meditation Center.

In October 2006, Ven. M. Upali Thero moved from Kanduboda and established a new center named Rathmalkanda Hermitage in Ella in the central hills, famous for its cool dry climate.

Situated in a beautiful setting & nestled amidst the lush tea bushes, coniferous pine wood and green rolling hills, it is a veritable paradise offers a mystical and serene atmosphere for the meditator. The mist clad Namunukula mountain range adds to the beauty of the panoramic view.
