Tissamaharama liegt 264 km südlich von Colombo im Bezirk Hambantota. Tissamaharama ist über die Hauptstraße Colombo-Galle-Hambantota (A1) erreichbar, die in Wellawaya im Bezirk Monaragala endet. Obwohl Tissamaharama nicht mit einer Eisenbahnlinie verbunden ist, ist es ein Verkehrsknotenpunkt der südlichen Provinz.
Die schattige Stadt liegt malerisch mitten in den weitläufigen Reisfeldern, die sich im Wind des großen Regenwasserspeichers Tissa Wewa bewegen, der 1 km nördlich der Stadt liegt. Inmitten der Reisfelder steht die beeindruckende schneeweiße Santagiri Dagoba Stupa, 56 Meter hoch und 165 Meter im Umfang. Am äußersten Ende des Tissa Wewa Regenwasserspeichers führt ein Fußweg zu einem kleinen künstlichen See namens Debera Wewa. In Tissamaharama befinden sich auch die Menik Dagoba Stupa und die berühmte Yatala Dagoba Stupa, von denen man glaubt, dass sie die Relikte von Buddha enthalten.
Die meisten Hotels und Gästehäuser befinden sich in der Nähe des Tissa Wewa Regenwasserspeichers. Das Dorf Deberwewa beherbergt ebenfalls Gästehäuser, die sich in der Nähe seines künstlichen Sees befinden.

About Southern Province
The Southern Province of Sri Lanka is a small geographic area consisting of the districts of Galle, Matara and Hambantota. Subsistence farming and fishing is the main source of income for the vast majority of the people of this region.
Important landmarks of the Southern Province include the wildlife sanctuaries of the Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, the holy city of Kataragama, and the ancient cities of Tissamaharama, Kirinda and Galle. (Although Galle is an ancient city, almost nothing survives from before the Portuguese invasion.) During the Portuguese period there were two famous Sinhalese poets called Andare who was from Dickwella and Gajaman Nona who was from Denipitiya in Matara District, composing poems on common man.
