Walpolamulla, the smallest village in Sri Lanka is also considered to be the smallest village in Asia. Today, the village is uninhabited and has only one house. Walpolamulla is a village that was rich in crops even though it was a difficult village.
The beautiful mountain ranges of the Dumbara Valley including Manigala and the road leading to the Dumbara Dust Falls also fall through this village. So there is no shortage of leeches on the way to the village. Although it is a beautiful area, no one lives in this village at present due to the problem of wild elephants and the difficulty in obtaining various facilities.
