Ayagama, Ratnapura

Ayagama is a rural town located in the Ratnapura District of Sri Lanka's Sabaragamuwa Province. It is primarily known for its agricultural economy, serene village environment, and traditional southern charm. Nestled amidst lush greenery and low-lying hills, Ayagama offers a peaceful lifestyle away from the hustle of urban centers, yet retains functional connectivity to nearby towns. This area is deeply rooted in agriculture, particularly paddy cultivation, vegetable farming, and home gardening, supported by small irrigation tanks and favorable soil conditions. The lifestyle here is modest but stable, with a strong focus on family, religion, and self-sufficiency. While Ayagama lacks urban-level amenities, it is gradually improving its infrastructure with better road networks and public services. Due to its affordability and proximity to key towns and development corridors in the south, Ayagama is slowly emerging as a location of interest for low-cost residential development and small-scale agri-investments.
