Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Galle, Galle, Galle District, Southern Province
You will meet our guide in Miliduwa, on the outskirts of Galle at approximately 0800 hrs. After introductions and an initial brief of the tour, you set off from Miliduwa.
The first stop is at the tea factory at Kahanda Kanda. This factory gives you a glance at how low-country tea is processed from raw leaves all the way to its final form with a peek at how a co-ordinated effort gets the tea from the lush green plantations to a teacup.
The serene Koggala Lake, being the next stop, is a place to rejuvenate and take on a boat ride around the lake. The Koggala Lake is dotted with hundreds of tiny islands, some of them large enough to be inhabited. Amongst many key features, the marshland that surrounds the lake is the main attraction with several dozen species of rare and colorful birds, especially during the migrant season.
You continue to cycle amid paddy fields, coconut, rubber and cinnamon plantations, etc. Upon reaching Unawatuna, you will see its famous pristine beaches and coral reefs. Unawatuna borders Rumassala mountain, with a unique Buddhist temple and a small attractive strip of beach known as Jungle Beach.
Galle city, the most significant attraction in this tour features the 17th century Galle Dutch Fort. It features several quaint boutiques for souvenir hunters, high-quality restaurants, even a strip of beach and even the first breadfruit tree planted in Sri Lanka. You will get a chance to interact with the locals and try some mouth-watering street food as well.
From the Galle Fort, you will cycle back to Miliduwa village to end an undoubtedly rewarding tour.
