Hi @kasun19953 ,

Thank you for sharing this interesting information about the Manapa Dassana.

Can you tell us more about these caves. Do you know what they were used for in aincent times? Can you share more photos about the region? The most interesting part for me is there is a monk living there nowadays. I’m curious to take a look at the place he’с dwelling.

Just to let you know, I’ve relabelled your post and it now appears in the Travel topic section. This way even more people can enjoy it.
