A tranquil boating trip on Tissa Wewa offers a glimpse into local culture, nature, and stunning scenery. This ancient reservoir in historic Tissamaharama is a hidden gem, perfect for a peaceful cruise through waters bordered by lush greenery. Believed to have been built in 3 BC by Mahanaga of Ruhuna or his successor Yatala Tissa of Ruhuna to irrigate paddy fields and supply water to the city, it is now a sanctuary for birdlife and provides a quiet view of local life, with fishermen and farmers along the shores.

Available from Mayur Lodge Yala and located 3 kilometres away.
