Tissa Wewa is one of the top tourists' attractions in Tissamaharamaya because of the beauty of the lake. You can spend a few hours in Tissa Wewa either to have your meal or as a break after a long drive. This is also a good place to enjoy a small snack from a nearby street food stall enjoying the view of the lake and its surrounding.
Built by ancient kings, Tissa Wewa is a large man-made reservoir surrounded by greenery. Taking a boat ride at sunset is a peaceful activity, where you’ll spot waterbirds, monkeys, and maybe even elephants near the banks. The lake is also a great picnic spot, giving visitors a chance to enjoy the calm natural beauty after a day of exploring temples and ruins.
