With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Western Province, 16 miles away, has to offer. Jana Kala Kendraya should be at the top of your list here. Sri Lanka Air Force Museum and Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya are fantastic attractions too. Don’t miss Central Province either! Just 50 miles away, Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake and Royal Palace of Kandy are must-sees here.
