North Western, Sri Lanka
Kalpitiya Lagoon, on Sri Lanka’s northwest coast, is a premier kitesurfing location. The lagoon is separated from the Indian Ocean by a narrow sandbar, creating flat, shallow waters ideal for beginners and freestyle riders. The area is remote and tranquil, with a growing number of kite camps, eco-lodges, and small resorts. The nearest major city is Puttalam, with Bandaranaike International Airport (Colombo) about 3 hours away. The wind is reliable, the scenery pristine, and there are numerous nearby islands and ocean spots for exploration.
