Day 1
Welcome to Sri Lanka - Six days tour
Our guide will meet and greet you at your hotel/ Airport (CMB). We will collect you from any hotel or motel in the western province of Sri Lanka. We expect to start your tour at about 7:00 a.m. After briefly discussing our planned tour, let's begin a three-day tour that will offer a peaceful start to your exciting adventure in Sri Lanka. We start from your hotel, drive through highways and exit from Ambalangoda. Exploring Galle & Ambalangoda Madu River Boat Safari We welcome you to Madu River Boat Safari, your gateway to the hidden beauty of Madu Ganga in Balapitiya, Sri Lanka. Embark on an unforgettable boat ride through this enchanting lagoon, renowned for its 64 islands and rich biodiversity. We visit around ten islands in the lagoon. Our journey begins as you board our fully insured boat, navigating through a stunning natural mangrove cave. Along the way, you'll visit Cinnamon Island, where you can witness the traditional cinnamon manufacturing process. Marvel at rural fishermen in their traditional catamarans, adding to the picturesque charm of the lagoon. Keep an eye out for diverse wildlife that thrives in this serene environment. Discover a peaceful temple nestled on the Koth Duwa.
Your boat safari will take approximately two hours. Drive through the Seniac coastal area. Ambalangoda to Galle Your journey will continue along the beautiful southern coastline from Ambalangoda to Gall, passing beautiful beaches. You will pass through tourist cities like Hikkaduwa and Rathgama, taking in the views of pristine beaches as you approach Galle. Galle Dutch Fort We welcome you to visit Galle Dutch Fort. Located in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, the fort was built first by the Portuguese in 1588 and extensively fortified by the Dutch from 1649 onwards during the 17th century. It is a historical, archaeological, and architectural heritage monument and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit key attractions, including the Maritime Museum, the old lighthouse, charming Dutch colonial villas, and local antique shops. Japanese Peace Pagoda - Rumassala Your next visit will be to the Japanese Peace Pagoda Rumassala. This impressive pagoda, built by Japanese Buddhist monks on the hillside west of Unawatuna, is worth a visit. It is run by a Japanese priest and is surrounded on either side by Jungle Beach and Unawatuna Beach. The meaning behind the Pagoda is to symbolise peace, respect and love.
Unawatuna Jungle Beach Your next visit will lead you to this hidden gem, which offers both adventure and stunning views as you make your way through lush jungle terrain. Only a five-minute walk from the Japanese Peace Pagoda sits Jungle Beach. The route to this beach is just as exciting as reaching it. Although this beach is growing in popularity, we think it is worth it for the adventure. A small trek through dense jungle and foliage following only a faint trail will lead you to this beach. When the foliage breaks and opens up, you will find Jungle Beach in all its glory, with stunning views of Galle Fort. Once you arrive at the beach, you’ll have time to enjoy a refreshing sea bath in the warm waters of Southern Sri Lanka's coastline, a perfect way to relax and rejuvenate.
