31 days in Galle Itinerary

The southernmost city on the island, Galle combines colonial-era history with a tropical feel and climate.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Tsunami Photo Museum and Martin Wickramasinghe Folk Museum Complex. Escape the urban bustle at Jungle Beach and Bentota Beach. Venture out of the city with trips to Kande Viharaya (in Aluthgama), Mirissa (Dolphin & Whale Watching & Mirissa Beach) and Ahangama (Kabalana Beach, Handunugoda Tea Estate, & more). Spend the 21st (Sun) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. Next up on the itinerary: steep yourself in history at Galle Fort, identify plant and animal life at Turtle Hatchery Hikkaduwa, see the interesting displays at Sri Vijayarama Viharaya, and take in the exciting artwork at Genuine Batik.
