If you’re after a day-trip destination, we can help out. Sitting 40 miles away, Western Province is worth getting in the car for. See the best sights starting with Jana Kala Kendraya, Sri Lanka Air Force Museum and Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya. Locals are also likely to point you toward Central Province, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Temple of the Tooth. (But we’d also recommend Kandy Lake and Royal Palace of Kandy.)
