Abhayawapiya Wewa has a maximum water capacity of 1910 acre-feet. About 174 hectares of water may be stored in the tank. The bund measures 3900 feet in length and 15.5 feet in depth on average.

Lotus tower is the highest tower in Sri Lanka. In Sinhala, Lotus Tower is also referred to as "Nelum Kuluna". Lotus Tower is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in the town of Colombo, Sri Lanka. This tower is the highest in South Asia, the 11th tallest in Asia, and the 19th tallest in the entire globe, standing at a height of 356 meters. It has grown to be one of the top tourist destinations in Sri Lanka and is well-liked by visitors.

The Lotus blossom serves as the design inspiration for this structure. In Sri Lankan tradition, the lotus represents purity and is seen to represent the nation's thriving progress. Two inverted trapezoids will also be used to build the tower foundation, which takes its design cues from the lotus throne. A seamless transition between pink and pale yellow is intended for the tower's hue, which will be accomplished by coating the glass. The tower has a height of 350 m (1,150 ft) and a floor area of 30,600 m2 (329,000 sq ft).

Many environmentalists, waterfall aficionados, and members of the general public in our nation are unaware of Meeyan Ella Falls. At the very least, few people even know where it is. This waterfall is situated close to the Ihalakotte train station along the Kandy railway line. Helan-Madiththa, a location on the Alagalla mountain, is the source of the stream that forms the Meeyan Ella waterfall. The waterfall's original course passed through the villages of Walagoda and Thalagolla before merging with Thalagolla Oya. It then fell as a single stream over a rock. The connection between Ma Oya in Boella and Thalagolla Oya follows.

However, the waterfall now divides into two segments with a 50-meter separation. A fascinating tale of how a large waterfall was once split into two smaller ones. To carry products, especially Ceylon tea from Kandy for export during the British Colonial Era, the Colonials built a railway line between Colombo and Kandy. The mid-1800s saw the construction of the railroad line between Polgahawela and Kandy. The Colonials at Alagalla had the difficult task of building the railway over the substantial waterfall Meeyan Ella. As a result, the Colonials were forced to complete the enormous task of digging a tunnel through the Alagalla rock, which was around 304 meters (1000 ft) deep. Instead, they looked for other options, and after examining the location, they came to the conclusion that the only choice was to obstruct the cascade upstream and carve two significant grooves into the rock. As a result, instead of one large waterfall, the water would cascade into two smaller ones. After the job was finished, a horizontal cut through the Alagalla rock measuring about 426 meters (1400 feet) long and five meters (18 feet) deep was made in order to build the railway line, which was finished up to Kandy in 1867. This groove was unable to handle the tremendous rush of water in the stream during severe downpours, and the railway was repeatedly carried away. Due to their difficulty pronouncing "Meeyan Ella," the British Colonials dubbed the waterfall "Meen Galla."

In the southern and Sabaragamuwa provinces of Sri Lanka, in the southwest lowland wet zone, is Sinharaja, a rain forest and a hotspot for biodiversity. The country's only remaining primary tropical rainforest is located in Sinharaja. The word "Sinharaja" means "Lion King" in English. 11,000 hectares of primary and secondary woods are present there. This short stretch of hilly terrain is made up of several hills and valleys. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, Sinharaja is the final tract of primary tropical rainforest left in the nation (IUCN). More than 60% of the trees in Sinharaja Forest are native to the area, and many of them are unique.

There is a lot of endemic wildlife in the reserve, particularly birds, but there are also many different kinds of insects, reptiles, and uncommon amphibians, as well as over 50% of Sri Lanka's endemic butterfly and mammal species. This is one of the key causes behind UNESCO's 1988 declaration of Sinharaja Forest Reserve as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sinharaja Forest was initially identified in 1936 as the Island's sole sizable area of the natural tropical rainforest.

In Sri Lanka, Yahangala is a highly well-liked trekking location. Local visitors are more inclined to visit than tourists from other countries. This peak is known as "Bed Rock" by some.

Another distinctive and stunning waterfall in Sri Lanka, Pahanthudawa is situated 19 kilometers from Balangoda and around 2 kilometers from the little village of Belihuloya on the A4 road. This waterfall's name derives from its natural setting, both in terms of location and nature. The bottom of the supposedly infinitely deep lake formed by the Panthudawa waterfall is modest yet deep. Its name is derived from the fact that it resembles the wick of a lamp (Pahana – a lamp). Hence, Pahanthudawa Falls is the name given to the waterfall. The flame-like component that is created coupled with the 5 m high waterfall has given it its actual significance. In the Ratnapura District of the Sabaragamuwa Province's Samanalawewa Tourist Zone is where you'll find the Pahanthudawa waterfall.

It is also known locally as "Galagama Ella." Additionally, it is sometimes referred to as "Pahanthuda Ella." This waterfall originates in the "Hawagala" mountain range. Inside are two waterfalls with wonderful views. After that, you can relax your thoughts. Additionally, you could experience anew the wonder of nature. Before it empties into Samanala Wewa Reservoir, this waterfall is the last one that Belihul Oya has to offer.

The island of Baththalangunduwa is located 20 nautical miles or 38 kilometers off the coast of Kalpitiya. One of the few inhabited islands off the coast of Kalpitiya, it is a tiny strip of land of about five square kilometers. Although the island was formerly a flourishing fishing community, it has recently gained popularity as a getaway for tourists seeking off-the-beaten-path adventure.

The ferry that travels to the island every day save on Sundays may be found in Kalpitiya, where the voyage to Baththalangunduwa begins. Although local fishermen and boat owners claim that Puttalam is the more direct route to the island, only vessels departing from Kalpitiya are authorized to get there.

Adisham Bungalow or Adisham Hall, a blatant example of colonial history in the nation, was constructed in 1931 close to Haputale in the Badulla District of Sri Lanka. It is a typical English country residence made of stone. Adisham Bungalow currently operates as a venerable Benedictine monastery and has a relic of St. Sylvester in the chapel. Adisham Bungalow is one of the top tourist destinations in Sri Lanka, drawing thousands of visitors each year to its location atop the beautiful mountain ranges in the country's central highlands.

Haputale is around 4 kilometers away from Adisham Bungalow. The monks of the Benedictine order maintain this monastery. Thomas Villers, who was born in Adhisham in 1869, constructed it. On 10 acres of land, R. Booth and F. Webster created the Adisham Bungalow. When Thomas Villers went away in 1959, Pulury conducted his cremation. Every stone that supports Adisham Bungalow has his life narrative engraved into it. A tiny community of six novices and a few monks maintain a program of prayer, meditation, labor, and service at Adisham today, which serves as primarily a monastery. For high-quality goods including strawberry jam, orange marmalade, wild guava jelly, and fresh fruit cordials, Adisham has become renowned.
