Avissawella is an important town in the Western Province of Sri Lanka, located about 50 kilometers east of the capital city of Colombo, along the Kelani River. As a transportation hub between Colombo and the central hills, the town is known for its tropical scenery and agricultural economy.
Nestled in the humid lowlands at an average altitude of about 90 meters above sea level, Avithivel has a tropical rainforest climate with abundant annual rainfall. Surrounded by rubber plantations, tea plantations and coconut plantations, the town is built along the river and has a unique view of the river valley.
As a key node on the A4 highway, Avisovelle connects Colombo with the hill towns of Nuwara Eliya. The economy is based on agro-processing (e.g. rubber production) and trade, with a gradual development of eco-tourism in recent years, attracting tourists to the surrounding waterfalls and natural attractions.
The town has a predominantly Sinhalese population and retains traditional markets and religious buildings. Famous for its tropical fruits (such as mangosteen), the vibrant weekly market is a reflection of Sri Lanka's rural-urban mix.
