The Madunagala Hot Wells sometimes referred to as ‘Madunagala Hot Springs’ is a unique attraction in Hambantota, as it is the only type of attraction that has a stark resemblance to that of the Kanniya Hot Springs in northern Trincomalee. Similar to its northern counterpart, the Madunagala Hot Springs is also known for its unique healing waters, which has attracted visitors from around the country to immerse themselves in. Scientific research claims that this is due to the geothermal heating that takes place before it reaches the well, that gives the water 22 important minerals, such as sulphate, nitrate, and chloride to name but three of the prominent ones.
