The ruins at the deserted Helamulla Degalhela Viharaya at the foot of the Degalhela Rock are another unexplored and unknown ancient Buddhist site in Siyambalanduwa.
Degalhela has been so named due to the two fused rocks which make the Degalhela mountain range. The Helamulla Degalhela temple lies at the foot of the mountain and is said to be deserted. The temple is scattered with ruins of an ancient temple that existed thousands of years ago at this location.
To reach the Degalhela Temple you would need to take the Ampara Road from Siyambalanduwa and travel up to the 7th km post and turn to the right at the new court complex of Siyambalanduwa which also leads to the Katupelellegala Ruins.
