Tissamaharama, more affectionately nicknamed as Tissa is a town on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The town holds a variety of cultural and wildlife attractions, as it’s known to be the closest major town to Yala National Park. The Yala National Park is one of the most famous wildlife reserves in the country and it’s the best place to spot leopards and sloth bears! The city was founded in the 3rd century BC, when the three iconic stupas and the ancient irrigation systems were built in the city during the reign of King Kavantissa. The Tissa Wewa Lake is one of the irrigation systems, while the others are known as Yoda Wewa, Weerawila Wewe, Debarawewe Wewa and Pannegamuwa Wewa.
