Full Day Galle Excursion- 15th October 2016

After Breakfast proceed to Galle.

Galle - Galle (pronounced gawl in English, and gaar-le in Sinhala) is a living time capsule. It has a vibrant

commercial district that’s also shambolic and often charmless, but pass through one of the Fort gates and you

are transported back to the Dutch colonial era.

Built by the Dutch beginning in 1663, the 36-hectare Fort occupies

most of the promontory that forms the older part of Galle.

Described by the notoriously hard-to-please Paul Theroux as being

‘garlanded with red hibiscus and smelling of the palm-scented

ocean,’ the Fort is an amazing collection of structures and culture

dating back through the centuries. Just wandering the streets at

random yields one architectural surprise after another. And be sure

to take in the dramatic views of town and ocean from the encircling

walls. UNESCO has recognized Fort as a World Heritage Site.

Lunch in Galle.

After lunch leave for Balapitiya and proceed by boats on which will take for about one hour. Here you will be able

to see the villagers taking part in their day to day activities and some islands. On the return journey to Colombo
