With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Nuwaragam Palatha Central, 50 miles away, has to offer. Sri Maha Bodhi, Anuradhapura Archaeological Museum and Mahasena’s Palace alone make the drive out worth it. Central Province is another great option. It’s 60 miles away and offers an array of fun things to see and do. Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake and Royal Palace of Kandy are only the start.
