This commercial town in Sri Lanka's Ratnapura District that grew rapidly from the 1970s under the Udawalawe development project, Embilipitiya sits beside the Chandrika Wewa reservoir, which draws visitors particularly at dusk. The town serves as the nearest urban centre to Mattala International Airport and the Sooriyawewa International Cricket Stadium, and lies within reach of Udawalawe National Park in a region ringed by mountains.
