迪亚塔拉瓦镇

Diyatalawa Diyatalawa Diyatalawa

迪亚塔拉瓦(意为“浇灌的平原”)是位于斯里兰卡中央高地、乌沃省巴杜勒区的一个前驻军城镇。它海拔1,281米(4,203英尺),已成为当地度假者的热门目的地。这里是斯里兰卡陆军迪亚塔拉瓦驻军的所在地,包括斯里兰卡军事学院(陆军军官培训中心)、斯里兰卡空军迪亚塔拉瓦基地(空军地面作战训练中心)以及斯里兰卡警察的设施。

迪亚塔拉瓦的福克斯山是斯里兰卡军事学院举办的年度福克斯山摩托车越野赛的举办地,这是该国首屈一指的赛车赛事之一。

福克斯山(僧伽罗语称Nariya Kanda)得名于英国士兵在食堂镇雕刻的、面向迪亚塔拉瓦火车站的整个山坡上的雕刻,数百块粗糙的石英岩石上雕刻着一只狐狸的图像,这些岩石曾经散落在整个山上。斯泰格山(僧伽罗语称Gona Kanda)也以与福克斯山相似的山丘上相同的岩石艺术风格命名。

由于海拔较高,位于中央高地哈普塔莱班达拉韦拉两个山地度假村之间的驻军城镇迪亚塔拉瓦,其气候比斯里兰卡低地凉爽得多,年平均气温为19°C。在冬季,夜间相当寒冷,甚至可能出现霜冻。
