Why we love it
Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built in 1588 by the Portuguese and fortified by the Dutch. Walk the ramparts and walls at sunset.
Galle town is an oasis for shopping and browsing at its many independent, stylish boutiques and restaurants.
Visit the Mulkirigala Caves for a remarkable temple and monastery carved out of a large, sheer rock formation. The Katagarma Temple is worshipped by the Buddhist and Hindu with daily musical festivities.
Visit at night to see turtles coming ashore to lay eggs or during the day to see young turtles.
Take a boat trip to spot whales about an hour off the southern coast. While sighting blue whales and sperm whales, keep an eye out for spinner and bottlenose dolphins.
Surf an untouched cove with a year round break, then explore the small eateries and bohemian vibe of Mirissa, popular with surfers.
Judy & Chris
We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
