Padiwita Ambalama, an ancient wayside rest lies in the middle of a paddy field in the Matale District. The history of this Ambalama is not known but it can be presumed that this was built during the Kandyan kingdom, before the British invasion.
The main route to Matale from Kandy may have been run through this paddy field at some time in the past for the Ambalama to be located here. The Padiwita Ambalama is built on a platform raised by granite stumps held by four large wooden beams. The wooden pillars which hold the roof are extensively carved
Near this Ambalam is a paddy field with a beautiful view and surrounded by mind-blowing mountain ranges with a relaxing environment.
