Aryapala Initiation & Meditation Centre

Head north 3km from Turtle Rock and you'll reach this Buddhist site, built on a spectacular rocky hillside. Set aside 45 minutes here to walk the circuit that loops by 143 boards displaying Buddhist proverbs en route to the temple. Along the way you'll pass several stupa and painted Buddhist motifs on the rocks.
