Itinerary

Day 1: Galle Fort Tour

Stop At: Galle, Galle, Galle District, Southern Province
A city on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. It is known for Galle Fort, the fortified old city founded by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century. Stone seawalls, expanded by the Dutch, encircle car-free streets with architecture reflecting Portuguese, Dutch and British rule. Notable buildings include the 18th-century Dutch Reformed Church. Galle Lighthouse stands on the fortโ€™s southeast tip. Built by the Dutch, beginning in 1663, Galle's core is the Fort, a walled enclave surrounded on three sides by the ocean. A key part of the Fortโ€™s appeal is that it isnโ€™t just a pretty place. Sure, tourism now dominates the local economy, but this unique city remains a working community: there are administrative offices and courts, export companies, schools and colleges.

Day 2: Madu River Boat Safari

Stop At: Balapitiya, Balapitiya, Southern Province
Madu River, a wetland estuary spreading over 900 hectares of which 770 hectares is covered with water and inhabited with 64 islands. The boat ride is a wonderful way to take a closer look at this complex wetland ecosystem; a world heritage site protected by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands being one of the last wetlands in Sri Lanka to contain a pristine mangrove forest. Journey past massive mangrove forests, glide under the canopy of the forest tunnels as they curve playfully towards the watercourse. Take in the unique biodiversity of the Madu River and its surrounding islands that boasts of hundreds of birds, plants, fish and animals. There's plenty more to do quench your thirst with a refreshing drink of King Coconut Water and then proceed towards the Buddhist Monastery, see how Kraal fishing is carried out, how Ceylon Cinnamon is peeled and enjoy some 'fish therapy' as they playfully nibble your feet at the 'fish spa'.

Stop At: Rumassala, Unawatuna, Sri Lanka
umassala South Beach is situated along with the Rumassala hill in Unawatuna. It is also known as Jungle Beach and is situated in close proximity to the Galle-Matara main road. The beach can be identified easily along with the hills where there is a small temple on its peak and lush greenery in the surrounding forest. This large peace pagoda in the middle of the jungle was gifted by a Japanese monk in 2005. Rumassala is an area with a historic and legendary background. It is a small beach usually crowded with tourists and locals. However, it is far less crowded than the main beach in Unawatuna. There are small restaurants in the area and it has a good atmosphere. The Rumassala South Beach is rich in biodiversity and the reef acts as a protected sanctuary and serves as a major archaeological site. It is a well-known place for fishing and is also suitable for swimming.
