The best area to stay in Kobbewehera is near the town centre, particularly around the Kobbewehera Raja Maha Viharaya temple.This central area offers convenient access to the town's main facilities and is the traditional heart of the community. You'll find local eateries and small shops within walking distance, giving you a good feel for daily life.

Kobbewehera is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit for consistently dry and pleasant weather is between December and March.During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the ancient sites and natural beauty of the region. This is particularly good for those planning to spend a lot of time outdoors, such as visiting Sigiriya or Dambulla.If your priority is seeing the Kandy Esala Perahera festival, which is a spectacular cultural event, then you'll need to plan your trip for July or August. While these months fall within the "inter-monsoon" period and can have some rain, the festival itself is a major draw. Do note that accommodation prices can be higher during this time due to increased demand.
