7 miles from the city center, Kelaniya temple offers a beautiful temple, a huge stupa and this magnificent bodhi tree.

Admission is by donation and you should leave your shoes with one of the vendors before entering the complex. Tip: walking out the back of the complex allows you to get a photo of both the temple and stupa together.

Top Kelaniya Hotel Reviews

Shangri-La Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"pofessional all round service cleanliness have never stayed at a Shangri-la hotel before and was really impressed generally.with everything."

Mandarina Colombo

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant staff and stay. Limited food options for vegetarians, but I would stay here again. The hotel airport shuttle has to be arranged 72 hours in advance and costs $35 USD OR $60 USD roundtrip. I used the PickMe app for my ride that cost me $34 USD roundtrip (including the 400 LKR for tolls). It’s double the cost if you use the hotel shuttle. Considering the airport is an hour away from the hotel, either price you want to pay is not bad compared to transportation costs to transfer to big cities in the US. "
