With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Western Province, 35 miles away, has to offer. Jana Kala Kendraya, Sri Lanka Air Force Museum and Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t forget about Galle either! Just 45 miles away, Galle Fort, Unawatuna Beach and Jungle Beach are must-sees here.
