Uva Province, Administrative province in southeastern Sri Lanka
The mountainous province spans 8,500 square kilometers across two districts, Badulla and Monaragala, featuring numerous waterfalls and extensive tea plantations.
The province experienced a significant uprising against British colonial rule in 1818, leading to widespread changes in the regional population and governance structure.
Traditional Buddhist temples, including Muthiyangana Rajamahaviharaya and Mahiyangana Rajamahaviharaya, represent centuries of religious and architectural development in the region.
The capital city Badulla serves as the administrative center, connected by roads to major cities like Bandarawela, Haputale, and Ella.
The Namunukula mountain range contains multiple peaks reaching over 2,000 meters, creating distinct microclimates that support specialized agricultural production.
