Thissamaharama Stupa
Thissamaharama Stupa
Sunset over Thissamaharama lake in Sri Lanka
This is a massive Stupa located in the Southern region of Sri Lanka near Yala National Park. It is not a must to visit, but still a local gem to have a look on. There are few amazing stone carvings around the Stupa.
OLYMPUS E-PM1 Exposure Time: 1/400 sec ISO-200 Focal Length: 45 mm Thissamaharama is situated in the Southern province of Sri Lanka. Most of the people in those areas practise chena cultivation as their major income. But those cultivated lands are destroyed by the elephants and wild boars as the density of animals in this region is very high. So, the farmers make these kind of huts on trees and protect their cultivation through out the night for months.

7.8/10 Good! (8 reviews)
This was a great value. It is a beautiful property right by the river. The foliage is superb and the staff work tirelessly to keep the grounds clear of plant droppings. The only negative was the WIFI which try as they might it never worked consistently.
