Nawagaththegama is a quiet agricultural town located in the Puttalam District of Sri Lanka’s North Western Province. Positioned between the towns of Anamaduwa and Nochchiyagama, it is surrounded by paddy fields, coconut plantations, and irrigation tanks, giving the area a lush, fertile landscape. Nawagaththegama embodies the essence of rural Sri Lanka, with a strong sense of community, Buddhist cultural roots, and a lifestyle that revolves around farming and seasonal markets.
This town is increasingly being considered for agricultural investment and sustainable land use due to its affordable land prices, water resources, and low population density. While urban development is minimal, the local government has undertaken improvements in rural infrastructure, schools, and irrigation systems, making Nawagaththegama a promising location for agro-based projects, eco-tourism, or rural living.
Despite being remote from commercial hubs, Nawagaththegama is accessible by road connections to Puttalam, Anamaduwa, and Nochchiyagama, and lies not far from Wilpattu National Park, one of the country’s premier wildlife reserves.
