Chilaw, the next station north, is home to the Munnesvaram Temple, a historically significant Hindu shrine.

Can I reach Wilpattu National Park via Sawarana Station?

Sawarana and the nearby town of Chilaw serve as useful rail staging points for travellers heading toward Wilpattu, though the park entrance itself requires onward road transport from the line. Most visitors to Wilpattu approach from Puttalam or Nochchiyagama by road. Combining a Puttalam Line journey with a pre-arranged vehicle is the most practical approach.

Is the Puttalam Line scenic?

The Puttalam Line passes through coastal lowlands, lagoons, coconut estates and small fishing villages, offering a genuine slice of everyday Sri Lankan coastal life.
