Surrounded by a shrub forest on the outskirts of Habarana, Hiriwadunna village is a charming destination that offers a taste of authentic rural living. The village sits at the mouth of Hiriwadunna Lake, a picturesque setting for diverse flora and fauna.
Life in Hiriwadunna stays true to the essence of the countryside. Fishermen and residents gather by the water in the mornings, tending to village tasks and reeling in the first catch of the day. Bullock carts navigate the dirt paths, curving around paddy fields and the lake. Nearby, an ancient Bo tree sits at the heart of Sri Bhodiraja Aranya Senasanaya, a quaint temple under the forest canopy.
Village excursions take visitors on an enriching journey through Hiriwadunna, aboard a bullock cart, tuk-tuk, or catamaran.
