With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Galle, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the sights beginning with Galle Fort, Unawatuna Beach and Jungle Beach. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Western Province, 55 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s Jana Kala Kendraya. (But we’re also big fans of Sri Lanka Air Force Museum and Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya.)
