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.
