財産 — Rishan Hotel 4th mile post
The Rishan Hotel 4th mile post is a straightforward, no-frills lodge on the Badulla-Bandarawela road. The lobby is functional, with linoleum floors and a small reception desk, and the air smells faintly of tea and dust. It suits budget travellers or transit stays between Ella and the hill country, offering clean rooms, a basic restaurant, and views of distant tea estates from the upper floors.
Badullaの歴史
Badulla developed as a colonial outpost in the 19th century, serving as a trading centre for coffee and later tea plantations along the Demodara valley. The British built the railway here in the 1920s, linking the town to Colombo and cementing its role as the terminus of the scenic Main Line. Today, Badulla is the administrative capital of Uva Province, with a mix of colonial-era bungalows, Tamil and Sinhalese market streets, and the restored 1880s clock tower at its core. Contemporary life revolves around the weekly fair at the old bus station and the enduring tea industry that still shapes the landscape.
訪れるのに最適な時間
Badulla完全ガイド →最高の月
January and February offer dry, clear weather with temperatures around 20–25°C, ideal for exploring the nearby tea trails and the Demodara loop. March is also good, though slightly hotter, with fewer tourists than the post-Christmas rush.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
August is the busiest month, driven by the Esala Perahera festivals in Kandy and local temple celebrations, plus Sri Lankan school holidays. Hotel prices in Badulla can jump 30–50% as rooms fill with domestic travellers and a few international tourists using it as a base. No single event in Badulla itself drives this; it's regional spillover.
予算肩の季節
April and November are the best budget months. April sees the inter-monsoonal rains but low occupancy, with discounts of 20–30% on standard rates. November is after the southwest monsoon, with more settled weather and empty hotels before the December peak.
天気&パッケージ
Badulla’s climate is two-season: a dry spell from January to March and a wet spell from October to December, but rain can fall any day due to local orographic effects. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes, and always carry a foldable umbrella, even in the 'dry' season.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Rishan Hotel 4th mile post, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (2nd or 3rd) facing away from the main road. These will be quieter and have a view over the surrounding hills rather than the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms at the back, near the service entrance or kitchen, as staff noise and early-morning activity can be disruptive. Also avoid rooms directly above the lobby if possible, due to footfall and reception noise.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing the hills (the side opposite the road) should offer a decent view over trees and rooftops toward the distant mountains. Street-facing rooms look onto Guruthalawa road and local buildings.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are your best bet for peace, especially the rooms at the ends of corridors away from the lift and stairs.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Guruthalawa road is a factor in front-facing rooms, especially during morning and evening traffic. The property is on a main route through Badulla, so tuk-tuks and buses pass regularly. There may be early-morning kitchen noise from the back.
