Demodara
Demodera is a town in the central highlands of Sri Lanka, located in the Badulla District of Uva Province.
It is approximately 14 km (9 mi) south of Badulla (the capital of Uva Province), on the A16 (Beragala - Hali Ela road).
Transport
It is served by railway station of the Sri Lanka Railways on the Badulla branch. There is a spiral at this location. It is easily visible from the Demodara railway station.

On the track which exists, the tunnel winds around a mountain, continuously ascending to end up at a higher elevation on what was the mountain under which the tunnel is built.
