Village of Koslanda, Badulla District, Sri Lanka

During the period of colonial rule, British planters found that the climate of the Hill Country could be too chilly at times, and the low country was too hot most of the time. But between the high hill country of Bandarawela and the low country of Wellawaya and Hambantota, they found that Koslanda at 700 meters elevation has a climate that is never too hot and never too cold, but just right.

In British times, tea and rubber estates came up in the Koslanda region, along with good roads, a fine district hospital, and other government facilities. Today Koslanda enjoys the same amenities including its mild climate and beautiful environment.
