Welgam Wehra is an ancient Buddhist Monastery, located around 13 KM north of Trincomalee. It is among one of the few Buddhist sites that was not destroyed by the invading Cholas. Admire the tall stone Buddha statue and various other structures inside the temple.

Go on an excursion to the Welgam Wehera Temple dated back to the second century. You will see several structures half covered by grass within the walls of a broad prakara. In the middle of the temple, there is a tall stone statue of Buddha. There are several entrances that lead into the enclosure. There are brick dagobas with plain guard stones, and plain moonstones. As you move ahead you will see stone bowls, Tamil inscriptions, Yantra galas and image houses scattered here and there.
