In the Galle District of Sri Lanka, Madu Ganga is situated adjacent to the town of Balapitiya. The name, which can alternatively be spelled "Maduganga" or "Madhu Ganga," means "Madu River." The main road A2 crosses the Madu Ganga river mouth halfway between the two well-known coastal towns of Bentota and Hikkaduwa. This Madu River creates a complex network of mangrove swamps farther upstream, as well as a large open lake studded with islands.

The biggest surviving mangrove swamp in Sri Lanka and an amphibious environment, Maduganga is home to several fish and reptile species. It's a great place to go bird watching as well. Together with the smaller Randombe Lake, which is located farther south but closer to the coast, and connected to the Madu River by two natural channels, it creates the Madu Ganga Wetland, which is home to almost 250 species of vertebrate animals and more than 300 species of plants. The International Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, a global agreement for the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands, classified Madu Ganga due to its rich biodiversity. The Iranian city of Ramsar, where the Convention on Wetlands was signed in 1971, bears its name.
