Vavuniya caters to all of a farmers needs. There are sales points for all the farm implements. There is no necessity to go to Colombo to buy even a tractor or car.

On the A9 highway, from Medawachchiya to Vavuniya, Sri Lanka.

A beautiful drive. Do not go too fast even though you may be tempted. There are stray cattle on the road and the Policed are strict about speeding. Enjoy the scenery.
