Road Trips From Colombo

Share      
What better way to explore a place than on wheels? Pack your bags and hit the roads to tour around the nears of Colombo this weekend. Drive for less than three hours to stumble upon Bentota, a popular beach town famed for being home to shallow fluvial waters and perfect weathers. Galle, Unawatuna and Kandy are some other preferred towns nearby, that are all within a six hour reach from Colombo. All you need to do is fuel up, pack your luggage in the boot and get going!
