Everywhere you go, you will have beautiful, tropical landscapes in the background, full of greenery and wildlife making their presence felt in the treetops and along the streets.

Tangalle can be reached from different points in Sri Lanka, either from Hambantota airport or from the cities of Hatton, Colombo, Koggala and Weerawila.
