Bandarawela
Bandarawela ( Sinhala : බණ්ඩාරවෙල, pronounced ; Tamil: பண்டாரவளை) is a town situated in Badulla District, Uva Province, Sri Lanka, from Badulla. Bandarawela is away from Colombo and about away from Kandy, the two capital cities of Sri Lanka. Thanks to its higher altitude compared to surrounding locations, Bandarawela has milder weather conditions throughout the year, making it a popular tourist destination for locals. Bandarawela is within hours reach of surrounding towns and cities by both road and rail. The town is influenced by its colonial history and rests among dense, lush forestation, finding its niche among visitors as a base for eco-tourism.
