Madakada
Madakada is a picturesque and tranquil village nestled at the edge of the Labugama Reservoir in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. Situated at an elevation ranging from 1000 to 1200 feet above sea level, this charming village offers a serene escape from the bustling city life. The area is known for its lush greenery, cool climate, and breathtaking views, making it a hidden gem for nature lovers and tourists seeking peace and tranquility.
One of the key attractions of Madakada is its panoramic view. From the highlands of the village, visitors are treated to sweeping vistas of the island's coastal belt, stretching from Kalutara in the south to Negombo in the north. On clear days, the view extends all the way to the Indian Ocean, where the blue waters meet the sky in a stunning horizon.
In addition to its natural beauty, Madakada is also strategically located, being only an hour’s drive from Colombo, Sri Lanka’s commercial capital. This makes it a perfect day-trip destination for those wanting to experience the lush countryside and cool climate, while still being within easy reach of the city.
