Summary
A multi centre holiday to Kalutara in Sri Lanka combines the wonder of nature with beautiful architecture. Located less than 30 miles from the country’s capital, Colombo, Kalutara is a more laid-back destination perfect for those looking for a relaxing trip away solo or with a partner.
Discover Kalutara's History
On your visit, you will want to experience Kalutara Chaitya, the only hollow Buddhist stupa shrine in the world and it's well worth the trip. Inside, there are 74 colourful murals depicting Buddha’s life, which you won’t see anywhere else. Another stunning building you should visit is Richmond Castle. It’s actually an Edwardian mansion dating back to the early 20th century. It’s open to the public, and when you take a guided tour, you’ll learn all about this remarkable residence and its history.
Unwind In The Nature of Sri Lanka
After a busy time sightseeing on your multi-centre Kalutara holiday, you may want to unwind on Kalutara Beach, especially to watch the sun set on another amazing day in Sri Lanka. Other places to discover include the spectacular Thudugala Ella waterfall, where you can go for a cooling dip in a natural pool after a scenic hike. Another natural wonder you won’t want to miss is Fa Hien Caves, an excavation in the late 1960s found evidence of cavemen living here around 37,000 years ago.
