Kurunegala

Kurunegala is a city in the Wayamba Province of Sri Lanka.

Get around

• The local "Three-Wheelers" ('Tuk-Tuk) are an amazingly cheap and exciting way of seeing the city, and they run well into the night. Negotiate the fee with the driver before you hop in as they do not have meters.

• Walking is also recommended - the centre is not that large - as a way of seeing shops, shopping area and other sights around the city.
