Discover the best attractions in Aluthgama, a coastal town in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. Visit the Kande Viharaya Temple, the Madu River, and the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project.

The Buddhist Amarapura Nikaya sect had its first upasampada on a fleet of boats anchored upon it in 1803. The Buddhist Kothduwa temple is situated on an isolated island in the lake. Together with the smaller Randombe Lake, to which it is connected by two narrow channels, it forms the Madu Ganga wetland.

It is approximately 72 kilometers south of Colombo and is situated at an elevation of 1 meter above sea level.
