Tissamaharama is an ancient town in Sri Lanka's Southern Province, about 35 kilometers from Hambantota, near the entrance to Yala National Park, an important gateway to Sri Lanka's southern wildlife reserves. The town is steeped in history, dating back to the kingdom's 2nd century BC, and the Tissamaharama Raja Maha Viharaya in the town center is one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries in Sri Lanka, with its ancient stupas and beautifully carved stone pillars bearing witness to the prosperity of Sri Lanka's early Buddhist civilization. Surrounded by vast rice paddies and coconut groves, the warm and humid climate, rich in history and culture, and close to natural wonders, makes it an ideal stopover for visitors to experience traditional Sri Lankan life and wildlife viewing.
