Ambatondrazaka is a small, delightful town situated over several hills at the southern end of [[Lac Alaotra]] in Madagascar. The town is surrounded by large rice fields and the region is commonly known as the rice granary of Madagascar. Due to lack of water the most southern part of lake Alaotra is overgrown and cannot be seen from the city anymore. In 2004 the town's population was estimated at 75,675. The town has several churches, a stadium, an old train station and a market offering fresh products from the region.
By car Ambatondrazaka can be reached from Tana via the RN2 direction [[Moramanga]] and from there via RN44 directly to Ambatondrazaka. To Ambatondrazaka it takes about 6 hours by [[taxi-brousse]] from Antananarivo and about 4 hours from Moramanga. A railroad once connected the city with the capital but is no longer in use. <!-- airport code WAM -->
