MATURATA PLANTATIONS

The land area is distributed in two geographical regions, with eleven estates situated in Nuwara Eliya-Ragala area and eight estates situated in the Deniyaya-Akuressa region. Of the eight estates in Deniyaya-Akuressa region, the five estates bordering the Sinharaja Forest Reserve act as a buffer zone to the Sinharaja Forest.

With an illustrious history tracing its roots back to the colonial era, the country’s first bowling alley is also believed to have been set up at the Maturata Planters’ Club.
