Description
A tranquil town rich in natural beauty and history, Mahiyanganaya provides a genuine gateway to Sri Lanka’s ecological and cultural riches. Sacred locations such as the Mahiyangana Raja Maha Vihara, one of the island’s oldest Buddhist temples, and the charming Sorabora Wewa, an old reservoir ideal for picturesque boat rides, can be found in this area, which is tucked away in the lush embrace of the Uva Province.
Maduru Oya National Park, a sanctuary for wildlife like elephants, deer, and numerous bird species, will enthrall nature lovers. It is surrounded by lush forests and undulating hills. An exceptional chance to interact with Sri Lanka’s indigenous Vedda community and gain knowledge of their customs is offered by the Dambana Indigenous Village.
