Sabaragamuwa is a province in Sri Lanka. It is named after its former indigenous inhabitants, the Sabara, an Indic term referring to hunter-gatherer tribes.
Despite bordering the greater Colombo area, this province is poorly connected by train. A small part of the Colombo-Kandy railway line skirts the far northern part of the province.
