Cidade de Tissamaharama

Tissamaharama pode ser acessada pela estrada principal Colombo-Galle-Hambantota (A1), que termina em Wellawaya, no distrito de Monaragala. Embora Tissamaharama não esteja conectada por ferrovia, é um centro de transporte da província do sul.
A cidade bem sombreada está lindamente situada entre vastos campos de arroz que balançam com a brisa do grande reservatório de água da chuva Tissa Wewa, 1 km ao norte da cidade. No centro dos campos de arroz, encontra-se a impressionante stupa branca como a neve, Santagiri Dagoba, com 56 metros de altura e 165 metros de circunferência. Na extremidade distante do reservatório de água da chuva Tissa Wewa, há uma trilha que leva ao menor lago artificial chamado Debera Wewa. Também em Tissamaharama estão a stupa Menik Dagoba e a famosa stupa Yatala Dagoba, que se acredita conter as relíquias de Buda.
A maioria dos hotéis e pousadas estão localizados perto do reservatório de água da chuva Tissa Wewa. A vila de Deberwewa também é o lar de pousadas localizadas perto de seu lago artificial.

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.
