Additional Information

Wayamba, a province in Sri Lanka, offers a lesser-known travel experience, with roots tracing back to the 12th and 14th centuries. The region offers a unique blend of history and nature, primarily sustained by its expansive coconut paddy agriculture. The province’s center is Kurunegala, also known as the ancient royal capital. The cityscape is a vibrant tableau circumscribed by coconut plantations, punctuated by eight prominent rocky formations. On your journey, you have the opportunity to discover Ethagala or ‘Elephant Rock’, which attributes its name to Kurunegala. In close proximity, you’ll find three archaeological sites featuring the remnants of an old fortified palace, monasteries from the 12th century and an intriguing locale known as Silver Village.
