Bandarawela is the second largest town in Badulla District, 28 km from Badulla. It is about 200 km from Colombo and about 125 km from Kandy. Its higher altitude gives it milder weather through the year, which has made it a popular hill-country getaway for Sri Lankans and a base for visitors.
The town is governed by a municipal council, and you can reach it and the surrounding towns by road and rail. Its colonial history still shows in its buildings, and it sits among dense, green forest.
People have lived here for thousands of years; geometric stone tools about 7,500 years old have been found at the Church-hill site. The ancient Dhowa Rock Temple, founded by King Walagamba in the first century BCE, is about 6 km away and holds a 12 m Buddha figure carved from rock.
