New Town, Polonnaruwa 51000, Sri Lanka is the address to give to a driver. Polonnaruwa lies within reach of Colombo, Kandy and Galle, three of the island's main urban centres. The location places the hostel on a route that connects the cultural triangle with the coast.
Sri Lanka's tropical climate divides the year between the southwest coast, driest roughly December to March, and the east coast, best roughly May to September. Island cooking leans on spice, with rice and curry, fresh seafood and tropical fruit forming the base of most meals. Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages, and English is widely used. International flights serve the island, and getting around is done by road and rail, so Polonnaruwa fits into a wider itinerary.
