Kalpitiya Halal Travel Guide

Kalpitiya is a small fishing village that started to develop into a tourist center a few years ago.

Travel to Kalpitiya

Kalpitiya is located to 165 kilometers North from Colombo. You can get here by bus/car for about 3.5 hours drive. Public transport is available from Colombo to Puttalam, after you can take a tricycle. Also you can hire a van with driver for 7000-8000 LKR from airport.

Get Around

Public transport is cheap, but very slow and may not be readily available. You could also use the omnipresent Three Wheelers (Tuk-Tuks). Always agree on the price before you get in. Prices vary and it is best you get advice from your Hotel about prices before you hail one.

Renting a car/van/bike could be a big problem in Kalpitiya/Puttalam area. If you plan to get around with our own transport (which is good idea), its much easier to rent one in the airport, Negombo beach area or Colombo area.

What to See

Boat trip to see dolphins and whales
Wilpattu national park
