Sabaragamuwa Province

Sacred Peaks and Holy Trails

Sabaragamuwa province is a stunning destination for tourists. This landlocked region boasts Ratnapura as its largest city and capital, where precious stones such as rubies, sapphires, and other gems are mined.

You won't want to miss the Sinharaja Forest Reserve - a national park, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the last remaining tropical rainforest in Sri Lanka. For nature lovers, Udawalawe National Park is a must-visit; located on the boundary of Sabaragamuwa and Uva Provinces, this sanctuary is home to water birds and Sri Lankan Elephants. Check out Sri Pada (Adam's Peak) if you're interested in cultural sites. This tall mountain near Hatton is considered holy by Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians. And don't forget about the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka, another World Heritage Site that offers breathtaking views. Of course, no trip to Sabaragamuwa would be complete without exploring the precious stone industry - rubies, sapphires, and other gems abound in this beautiful landlocked province.
