Wellawaya

Situated in rural calm in the foothills of the central massif, the Great Western Mountain range, Wellawaya is a place of paddies, tumbling waterfalls, and peacocks. Here, people still lead simple lives that are firmly rooted in centuries-old, traditional means of subsistence. The town is situated at a crucial intersection and serves as a gateway to both the East and the South. The pristine setting, which alternates between verdant meadows, scrub jungle, and rocky waterfall terrain, is serene and tranquil.
Due to the proximity of ancient landmarks like the Buduruwagala Rock sculptures, the region is also culturally significant.
