Prepare for an authentic village life when you travel to Weerawila. Unbridled with the charm of an idyllic fishing village, Weerawila is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city life and offers travellers a look into the intricate ways of the local community.

Quiet and tranquil, this small town is quickly developing as one of the convenient bases for safari tours in Yala – a popular attraction among tourists who visit Sri Lanka and home to over 200 species of birds and over 40 species of mammals.

One of the island’s most coveted national parks, Yala National Park lies 45.2 km away from Weerawila, and is known for the singular distinction of having a high density of leopards. Look out for these predators as they prowl majestically around the park, as you enjoy the dry shrub jungles, beaches, grasslands and marine wetlands all within the park’s boundaries. Spend a day just roving around or marvel at the impressive beauty of elephants, as they roam around; the cautious deer scampering by their side.

If you wish for a more relaxing activity, a boat ride along the Weerawila Lake is a must. Meandering along the calm waters of this lake, with just the swish of the oars and the melodic sounds of the birds breaking the silence is a spectacular excursion. Dawn is the perfect time to go across the Weerawila Lake with the sun sparkling on the water.

Weerawila Bird Sanctuary and the Bundala National Park are few other places to visit when you travel to Weerawila. Arm yourself with a set of binoculars, as you spot Black-headed ibis, Crested Serpents, Eagles, Rosy Starlings, Large Egrets and Red-wattled Lapwings.

Hambantota ringkonna kohta

Hambantota on maapiirkond Sri Lanka kaguosas rannikualal. See on ka Hambantota ringkonna pealinn Sri Lanka lõunaprovintsis. Umbes 240 km kaugusel Colombost asuv Hambantota on keset ümberkujundamist strateegiliseks sadama- ja kaubanduskeskuseks, kus toimub ulatuslik infrastruktuuri arendamine. Ulatuslike liivarandadega ääristatud Hambantota on mugav asukoht lähedalasuvate vaatamisväärsuste külastamiseks.

Bundala rahvuspark asub Hambantotast 20 km ida pool ja Weerawila pühamu veidi kaugemal. Ruhuna rahvuspark ja Kataragama tempel on teised vaatamisväärsused, kuhu linnast on lihtne pääseda.

Lõunaprovintsi kohta

Sri Lanka lõunaprovints on väike geograafiline piirkond, mis koosneb Galle, Matara ja Hambantota piirkondadest. Elatuspõllundus ja kalapüük on selle piirkonna elanike peamine sissetulekuallikas.

Lõunaprovintsi oluliste vaatamisväärsuste hulka kuuluvad Yala ja Udawalawe rahvusparkide looduskaitsealad, püha linn Kataragama ning iidsed linnad Tissamaharama, Kirinda ja Galle. (Kuigi Galle on iidne linn, pole Portugali sissetungi eelsest ajast peaaegu midagi säilinud.) Portugali perioodil elasid kaks kuulsat singali luuletajat: Andare, kes oli pärit Dickwellast, ja Gajaman Nona, kes oli pärit Denipitiyast Matara ringkonnas, kes kirjutasid luuletusi lihtinimese kohta.
