Tissa
Tissa is often used as a stepping stone to other destinations, such as Yala National Park. However, it is truly a destination in its own. Tissa, short for Tissamaharama, has more history and archaeological ruins than many other Sri Lankan towns. Two things immediately catch the eye: a huge expanse of water, the Tissa Wewa, and a bright white dagoba, the Maharama Wehare. Tissa was a stronghold for the southern kings of Ruhuna and both the tank and the dagoba are remnants of its earliest kings. While the north waned with foreign invasion, the Kingdom of Ruhuna remained a strong base for the southern kings.

Kirinda
The small fishing village of Kirinda is blessed with a pretty beach, spectacular views and a charming history, yet it is bypassed by most visitors. There is a rocky outcrop from which can be obtained some magnificent views of the desolate coast with its long stretch of sand dunes and the ocean beyond. On a clear day the lighthouse on the Great Basses Reef appears like a needle in the far distance. That's not all, for if you reverse your gaze you can see Tissamaharama in detail, especially the glistening dome of the Tissamaharama Dagobahis repentance as well as appease the gods.

Udawalawa
Udawalawa is a small town located in the southern part of the Ratnapura District in Sri Lanka. It is situated in close to the district's boundary with the Hambantota District and Monaragala District. Udawalawa is also called Udawalawe by some. The town is the main entry points to the Udawalawe National Park which is a major National Park in Sri Lanka which is renowned for its high population of wild Asian elephants. This national park is the closest national park to colombo. It's situated 160km away from capital city.

Kumana
Located in the southeast corner of Sri Lanka, the 18,149 hectare KUMANA (YALA EAST) NATIONAL PARK is a well-known eco tourism attraction and bird sanctuary where a multitude of birds breed and roost. One of the most significant features of the park is the ‘Kumana Villu' - a 200 hectare natural swamp lake, fed by the ‘Kumbukkan Oya' through a half mile long narrow channel. It is at this mangrove swamp that many water birds nest in May and June. Regular sightings include such species of bird as pelicans, painted storks, spoonbills, white ibis, herons, egrets and little cormorants. The very rare black-necked stork has also been spotted at the swamp. Besides the prolific birdlife, Kumana is also home to some of the mammals found in the larger YALA NATIONAL PARK (west) park, such as elephants and leopards.
