Rathnapura  by Dinesh    19th Sep 08
I have been Rathnapura many times. The Important thing is Climate. It is fair n cool. You can watch Sinharaja Raining Forest there. Morning Sight near Sooriyakanda, Sri Pada Access road near Palabadda. You can worship Sumana Saman Devalaya and Temple there. Also Bopath Ella (Waterfall)near Kuruwita. Rakwana and Kalawana two beautiful small towns in Rathnapura.

The World famous city for gems -  by Suranga    24th Jun 08
Rathnapuraya is one of the world famous cities for gems. The name of the city itself means “Gem City” in Sinhalese. The tourists attract not only gems, but also the natural beauty of the area. The waterfall “Bopath Ella” and the virgin forest “Sinharaja” enrich the natural beauty and add a global value for the city. Specially, the “Sinharaja” virgin forest is grouped with the world famous virgin forests. The history of Rathnapuraya goes up to the era of the great king “Raavana” and since then it has a proud history. Facilities for tourism are excellent and the hospitality of the Singhalese people of the area is unbelievable. Rathnapuraya is the capital of the Sabaragamuwa province in Sri Lanka. It is about 100km away from Colombo.
