Introducing Wellawaya
By Wellawaya you have left the Hill Country and descended to the dry plains that were once home to the ancient Sinhalese kingdom of Ruhunu. Wellawaya is simply a small crossroads town and, apart from the nearby Buduruwagala carvings, there’s not much of interest in the area. Roads run north through the spectacular Ella Gap to the Hill Country; south to Tissamaharama and the coast; east to the coast; and west to Colombo.
