Vavuniya District is an important gateway between central and northern Sri Lanka. The area is mainly used as a transport hub on journeys toward Jaffna and the north, but its surrounding countryside, reservoirs and local communities also give travellers a quieter view of inland northern Sri Lanka. Vavuniya town is an important road and rail gateway between central Sri Lanka and the far north. The surrounding area includes reservoirs, rural villages and historic sites around places such as Madukanda, while onward routes lead towards Mannar, Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi and Jaffna.
