Der Stausee liegt weit entfernt von menschlicher Besiedlung, etwa 17 km von der Stadt Maha Oya entfernt. Im Rahmen des Rambakan Oya-Projekts wurden auch sieben weitere kleinere Stauseen renoviert. Es handelt sich um Polwatte Wewa, Pollebedde Wewa, Niloba Wewa, Kiralagas Wewa, Dumana Wewa, Bendirekka Wewa und das Akulobe Wewa. Von dort aus kommen Sie auf dem Weg zum Rambakan Oya-Stausee an den Wewa Kiralagas, Niloba Wewa und Pollebedde Wewa vorbei. Pollebedde (Pollebedda) ist eines der traditionellen Heimatländer der indigenen Veddhas Sri Lankas . Auf dieser Straße kommen Sie auch an ihrem Dorf vorbei, kurz vor dem Pollebedda Wewa.

Kurz vor dem Stausee führt eine Umleitung zu den Ruinen des alten Doppelkanals, der vor Tausenden von Jahren zum Bau eines Stausees angelegt wurde. Weitere archäologische Überreste finden sich am Fuße der Rampe, die zum oberen Ende des Dammes führt. Dieses Gebiet wurde vermutlich bei der Eröffnung des Staudamms im Jahr 2009 gerodet, ist aber wieder von Dschungel und Dornenbüschen bedeckt, was den Zugang extrem erschwert.
