Seethawaka wet zone botanical garden is located in Illukovita village, close to Avissawella. The easiest route to reach this garden is taking the turn from Puwakpitiya station. When you are driving from Colombo to Avisswella via high level, you will find the Puwakpitiya station at your left hand side. Turn right from the next junction, take the “Puwakpitiya-Thummodara” road and travel nearly 3 km, then you can find the garden by your right hand side. Currently this park occupies the land area of 106 acres. Even though they have some area dedicated for flowers, this park is mostly about trees. The rationale behind the launch of this park is to establish a center to conserve the highly threatened wet lowland forest flora for future generations

Ranmudu Ella, also known as රන්මුදු ඇල්ල, is a beautiful waterfall located in the Thummodara area near Avissawella in the Colombo District of Sri Lanka. Approximately 15 meters in height located near Labugama reservoir, and Colombo District. The water of the fall is very cold and clean, making it a refreshing experience.
Have you ever seen a waterfall with yellow colored water outside of heavy rainfall of the waterfall area, especially in nearby forest reserved area? With no apparent explanation the water mixed in yellow soils giving a rather contrasting affect on the normal colorings yet adding a highlighted beauty to the waterfall? This is another wonder of the nature : the Kahapath Ella named to complement its yellowish beauty of the cascading waters. Proudly standing on the Kelinkanda Grams Division, with extremely hard pathways to reach, the access is hidden from the world, the waterfall itself is out of reach from tampering even from their own local community. People believe that the water was a result of some cooking some traditional rice called 'Muradana' nearby with their leftovers disposed around the land of surrounding water resources. In the folklore it is said that the prince Vidiyabandara – a local ruler has used this waterfall. With its relative anonymity, it is the perfect place for endangered Flora and fauna to thrive in the back of relatively untouched environment engineered by the nature to house its inhabitants from the total annihilation.
