BEAUTY OF SRI LANKA PLACES IN UVA PROVINCE
Uva Province
The Uva Province consists of two districts: Badulla and Moneragala while the capital of the province is Badulla. Uva is bordered by the Eastern, Southern and Central provinces. Uva’s symbolic mountain is Namunukula which stands tallest of the mountain range surrounding the Badulla town. One can get spectacular views of Welimada basin, Kataragama and Hambantota beach from Namunukula peak on a clear day. The views of sun rise and sun set are magnificent too.
In the Uva Province are a number of Sri Lanka’s famous waterfalls like Dunhinda Falls, Diyaluma Falls, Rawana Falls, Bambarakanda Falls as well as national parks such as the Yala (lying partly in the Southern and Eastern Provinces) and Gal Oya (lying partly in the Eastern Province). The Gal Oya hills and the central mountains are the main uplands, while the Mahaweli and Menik rivers and Senanayake and Maduru Oya reservoirs are the major waterways. The main heritage sites in and around Badulla are ancient Muthiyangana temple, Dowa temple, Bogoda ancient wooden bridge and Bogoda Buddhist temple.
