Dambula Travel Guide

Sri Lanka

Dambula is an inland city in central Sri Lanka with a population of 66,716. It is away from the coast, so the city itself is not a beach destination.

Travellers arriving by air can use Dambula Oya Tank Airport (DBU). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Dambula, so plan coastal trips separately rather than treating the city as a base for nearby beaches.
