    It is much crowded during poya days and Sundays. So if you want to relax your mind and go for peace of mind, avoid those days. Parking is available a bit far off the bridge.

    Doesn't have official parking spots for vehicles. So parking is at risk of your own. Sand and beaches are mostly with garbage. Not an ideal place for a swim. Even though there are lifeguard stations, only ghosts & ghouls work in them. Kids attractions, such as play areas (although adult couples seem to have to enjoy them rather than children) & objects are available.

    This Falls is located in the Thudugala Estate in Thudugala village at Kalutara District, Sri Lanka. Once owned by a British national, a derelict bungalow still remains near the waterfall. There is a natural swimming pool which even kids can use.

    I have selected this place for make my assignment. The owner, Mr. Ranjith is one of greatest artist in batik products and wood cravings. His shop is filled with thousand greatest artistic creations. he is very friendly and explain his story from his childhood. I think that he is the best wood craving artist in kalutara area. He doesn't annoy you to buy his products. Best place to visit

    Bodhinagala Forest Hermitage or Dombagaskanda Forest Reserve is one of the quietest places in Western Province. This temple is situated in the middle of the forest reserve where you can see small rooms made for monks in the forest too. It is about 3km from the main road. If you are lucky you will get to see different kinds of birds and animals too.
