Hotels in Kalutara District, Sri Lanka
Kalutara District sits on Sri Lanka's southwest coast, famous for the massive Kalutara Bodhiya temple and its palm-fringed beaches along the Indian Ocean. The tropical climate means it's warm year-round-dry from December to March with temps around 80°F (27°C), perfect for kayaking on the Kalu Ganga river or sunbathing at Kalutara Beach-while the wetter months from May to August still offer cheaper stays and quieter surf breaks at Kalutara Bay. Ever tried a boat ride through the mangroves during the green season? That's when local guides take you to spot monitor lizards and kingfishers without the crowds.
