Introducing North of Colombo

The A3 heads north out of Colombo, skirting old Dutch canals, sandy beaches and wildlife refuges. Close to the Bandaranaike International Airport, on the outskirts of Colombo, the pleasant beach town of Negombo makes a good first stop for many visitors to the country, while further north the west coast is rural and green – just watch out for coconuts falling in the many palm plantations. In the far north of this region the chief attraction is Wilpattu National Park and its myriad animals.
