Characterization of surroundings/region
Alankuda lies roughly 100 kilometres north of the International Airport, on the coast of the northern-western peninsula of Sri Lanka. Alankuda is scenically located between the Indian Ocean and the vast Puttalam Lagoon. Alankuda is a little paradise on its own.
The biodiversity of mangroves, marshes, saltpans, golden beaches, sand dunes, wild dense jungles and scenic beauty combined with tropical weather conditions makes Alankuda a fine destination for rest, relaxation and a prime location for adventure and nature tourism alike. Until recently Alankuda was considered a rural backwater with hardly any tourists or local visitors. Nature lovers and adventure sport enthusiasts have since discovered the hidden beauty of Alankuda. Alankuda has steadily gained popularity as a prime Tourism destination in Asia. The Dutch fort is today occupied by the Sri Lanka Navy and the Dutch church to remains well preserved through the decades gone by.
