About Kalpitiya

The little arm extending from the west coast of the island, Kalpitiya Sri Lanka is a beautiful fishing village offering a simple lifestyle. Initially known as Calpentyn by the Dutch at the time in which it was established as a fortified trading port, Kalpitiya boasts a mixture of fascinating buildings from its colonial historic roots.

Despite its simplistic, unspoiled lifestyle, Kalpitiya Sri Lanka is now a vibrant, energized city, popularly known as one of the best spots in the world for dolphin and whale watching. It is a great place for a nice, relaxing holiday especially one in which you would feel one with nature as you explore the wonders of the marine world.

Kalpitiya weather is generally dry and fairly constant with the exceptional rains generally in the month of November.
