Get around

Getting around by Tri-shaw (Three wheeler) is most convenient. You should always negotiate, bargain and agree on a price before you take a trip.

The Wadiya is in Wellawatte next to the Beach: great for an evening meal
Saras is one of the best Indian Restaurants. It is on Duplication Road.
