  • Exploring Galle
    Galle Dutch Fort We welcome you to visit Galle Dutch Fort. The fort, located in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, 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 recognised as 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. Yatagala rock temple Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya is a stunning rock temple nestled among towering rock formations. The journey to the temple involves a rewarding climb, allowing you to fully appreciate the surroundings. At the top, you'll be greeted by a magnificent statue of Lord Buddha, along with intricate murals and wall paintings depicting scenes from Buddhist teachings. The serene atmosphere and panoramic views make this a spiritual and cultural highlight of the day. After the rock temple visit, your guide will take you back to your hotel, concluding your scenic tour of Southern Sri Lanka. Enjoy your day filled with culture, nature, and breathtaking views!
