Uva-provinsen

Uva-provinsen består af to distrikter: Badulla og Moneragala, mens provinshovedstaden er Badulla. Uva grænser op til Øst-, Syd- og Centralprovinsen. Uvas symbolske bjerg er Namunukula, som er det højeste i bjergkæden, der omgiver byen Badulla. Fra toppen af Namunukula kan man på en klar dag få spektakulær udsigt over Welimada-bassinet, Kataragama og Hambantota strand. Udsigten over solopgang og solnedgang er også storslået.

I Uva-provinsen findes en række af Sri Lankas berømte vandfald som Dunhinda Falls, Diyaluma Falls, Rawana Falls, Bambarakanda Falls, samt nationalparker såsom de 9 Yala (ligger delvist i Syd- og Østprovinsen) og Gal Oya (ligger delvist i Østprovinsen). Gal Oya-bakkerne og de centrale bjerge udgør hovedhøjlandet, mens Mahaweli og Menik-floderne samt Senanayake og Maduru Oya reservoirerne er de vigtigste vandveje. De vigtigste kulturarvssteder i og omkring Badulla er det gamle Muthiyangana-tempel, Dowa-tempel, den gamle træbro Bogoda og Bogoda buddhistiske tempel. Muthiyangana-templet ligger i den ene ende af Badulla by, mens Bogoda-træbroen og templet ligger tæt på byen Hali-ela. Det gamle Rawana-buddhistiske tempel er også kendt blandt turister, der besøger Rawana-hulen og Rawana-vandfaldet i Ella.

Haputale er en by i Badulla-distriktet, og dens højeste bjergkæde er Kirigalpotta. Haputale-Beragala-passet giver på en klar dag en storslået udsigt over Syd- og Sabaragamuwa-provinsen. Højden er 1431 m (4695 ft) over havets overflade. Området har en rig biodiversitet med et bredt udvalg af flora og fauna. Byen har et køligere klima end dens omgivelser på grund af dens højde. Haputale-passet giver udsigt over de sydlige sletter i Sri Lanka. Sydvestgrænsen af Uva-bassinet markeres af Haputale-bjergkæderne, som fortsætter videre til Horton Plains og Adam’s Peak mod vest. CNN har udnævnt Haputale til et af Asiens mest uobserverede rejsemål. Interessante steder i Haputale inkluderer; Lipton’s Seat,
