While idyllic beaches and the town’s main Buddhist temple may be key allures for visiting Kalutara in Sri Lanka, don’t forget that the district is home to more off-beat attractions worth exploring too. Such sites let you experience local culture and natural beauty, and one, namely Fa Hien Cave, even provides insights into pre-historic human settlements! Those based at properties like Anantara Kalutara Resort can also enjoy an excursion to a local ego village and see traditional livelihoods including the process of weaving cotton on handlooms and making clay pots. Amongst the other off-beat places to visit in Kalutara District are the Nachchimale Stream, South Bolgoda Lake and Beruwala Lighthouse each with something different to discover.
