My home town is Balangoda. It is in the Sabaragamuwa province and in Ratnapura district .It is about 146 kilometer from Colombo and 46 kilo metres from Ratnapura town. Balangoda is a very beautiful city. It is surrounded by many hills. Therefore it has good climate. The population of this town is about 50 000. Most of the people are Sinhalese Buddhists .The main cultivations of this area are tea, coconut andpaddy. Balangoda is very famous for gems. The town has lot of is facilities for the people such as leading schools, medical, traveling, water supply and many other things. There are many interesting places in the areasuch as Duvilly Ella and Samanela wava. I like my home town very much.
