The main activity in the area lies around Habarana junction with a Food City for supermarket supplies, and other high street shops such as a chemists and a small restaurant/takeaway.

Habarana is on the route direct from Trincomalee to Dambulla. The bus stops at the Habarana junction for travellers who want to go to Sigiriya. Whilst going to Sigiriya would involve catching two buses, taking a tuktuk is shorter and quicker as they use back roads not practical for bus transport.

Habarana is 17 kms from Sigiriya, 19 kms from Dambulla, 54 kms to Polonarruwa and 82 kms to Trincomalee. It is a small town of only about 5,000 to 10,000 people. It is used as a base for visiting other places of interest such as Sigiriya Rock and Minneriya National Park. As such there are many hotels and guest houses in the area.
