14 Day Tour

DAY 01

On the 1st day of the tour, we are visiting Negambo city after arriving at Colombo international airport.-Move to Hotel or Hostel
-Lunch & Dinner
-1st Night at Negambo.

Negombo

Negombo is a modest beach town located just 10km from Bandaranaike International Airport. With a stash of decent hotels and restaurants to suit all pockets, a friendly local community, an interesting old quarter and a reasonable (though somewhat polluted) beach, Negombo is a much easier place to find your Sri Lankan feet than Colombo.
The Dutch captured the town from the Portuguese in 1640, lost it, and then captured it again in 1644. The British then took it from them in 1796 without a struggle. Negombo was one of the most important sources of cinnamon during the Dutch era, and there are still reminders of the European days.
The busy center of Negombo town lies to the west of the bus and train stations. Most places to stay, however, line the main road that heads north from the town center, with the beachside hotel strip starting about 2km north of town.

Things to do

When you stay in Negombo, you stay in one of Sri Lanka’s best locations for aquatic adrenaline – thanks to the blue waters of the Negombo Lagoon and the Indian Ocean. From leisurely boat rides and canoeing to fast-paced jet-skiing, water skiing, and windsurfing, we’ve got something for everyone. If you’d like, we can even arrange a ride on the iconic catamarans that line the shores of Negombo. And as a pleasure of the home of Sri Lankan hospitality.Boat Cruise
Take a memorable boat trip down the Hamilton Canal, originally constructed by the Dutch and later fortified by the British in 1802, being named after Gavin Hamilton, the then Government Agent of Revenue and Commerce. The scenic and interesting journey commence from the popular seaside village of Negombo, aboard well-equipped boats with safety gear and knowledgeable personnel at hand. The first leg of this enjoyable cruise is on the placid waters of the historical Hamilton canal. Tour past the homes of the fisher families situated at the edge of the canal; get a glimpse of the adults at their various chores while little children playfully wave at the passing boats. Head straight for the Negombo Lagoon where the fresh fish market or “Lellama” is situated literally on the lagoon shores. Here one can observe every type of fresh catch - fish, cuttlefish, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and even shark. You can also be one with nature at the mangroves, the famed Muturajawala Marshes; spot interesting wildlife like monkeys, water monitors, and an abundance of birdlife such as Egrets, Herons Kingfishers, and Cormorants eagerly waiting for their catch of fish. However, the highlight of the tour is the Fishing Village where one observes the fisherfolk preparing their nets for the next catch, see how the boats are launched to sea, the excess catch being washed and sun-dried to be sold as ‘dried fish’ before having a brief chit-chat with the friendly fisherfolk. If it’s an early morning tour watch the catamarans coming in with the ocean’s bounty; an awesome experience that promises some beautiful snapshots. After an exhilarating 2 hour tour, it’s back to Negombo gliding across the beautiful Hamilton canal. This tour promises an authentic boat ride and a great opportunity to experience the Sri Lankan fishing culture, its people, and their lifestyles.Diving in Negombo

Trincomalee

Trincomalee (Trinco) sits on one of the world’s finest natural harbors. This historic city is old almost beyond reckoning: it’s possibly the site of historic Gokana in the Mahavamsa (Great Chronicle), and its Shiva temple the site of Trikuta Hill in the Hindu text Vayu Purana. Most people just pass through the city on their way to the nearby beaches of Uppuveli and Nilaveli, but the town has some charm, plenty of history, and an interesting mélange of people.
Trincomalee’s superb deep-water port has made it the target for all manner of attacks over the centuries: by the British takeover in 1795, the city had changed colonial hands seven times. It's easy to spend a day or more exploring the ins and outs of the myriad waterfronts and the fort and its famous temple.

Things to do

Safari in Kumana
This 357-sq-km park, once known as Yala East, is much less frequently visited than its busy neighbor, Yala National Park. Consequently, it's a far less zoo-like experience and it never feels too crowded here, even during high season. Yes, the density of animals is lower, but it’s not rare to spot a leopard, along with elephants, crocodiles, turtles, white cobras, wild buffalo, and tons of birds. About a dozen bears live in the park, but they’re rarely seen.
There are modest exhibits at the ticket office near the park entrance. The park’s best-known feature is the 200-hectare Kumana bird reserve, an ornithological rich mangrove swamp 22km beyond Okanda. May to June is nesting season. There have been sightings of Sri Lanka’s very rare black-necked stork, but more commonly spotted, even outside the bird reserve, are Malabar pied hornbills, green bee-eaters, blade-headed orioles, and painted storks, among others. Watchtowers provide a terrific perspective for birdwatchers. Visitors regularly report seeing dozens of peacocks here.Lagoon safari in Panama
Tour the local mangroves by slow boat and experience up close the great diversity of life below the water, on the marshes, and in the sky. New floating boats (with ungainly seats) will take you on three-hour wildlife-watching journeys.

Galle

Galle is a jewel. A Unesco World Heritage Site, this historic city is a delight to explore on foot, an endlessly exotic old trading port blessed with imposing Dutch-colonial buildings, ancient mosques, and churches, grand mansions, and museums. Wandering its rambling lanes you'll pass stylish cafes, quirky boutiques, and impeccably restored hotels owned by local and foreign artists, writers, photographers, and designers.
Built by the Dutch, beginning in 1663, Galle's core is the Fort, a walled enclave surrounded on three sides by the ocean. A key part of the Fort’s appeal is that it isn’t just a pretty place. Sure, tourism now dominates the local economy, but this unique city remains a working community: there are administrative offices and courts, export companies, schools, and colleges.
Most travelers are utterly seduced by Galle's ambiance, and it's undoubtedly southern Sri Lanka's one unmissable sight.

Galle Fort
The Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, and then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological, and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 423 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by the Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka.
The fort has a colorful history, and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population. The Sri Lankan government and many Dutch people who still own some of the properties inside the fort are looking at making this one of the modern wonders of the world.

The Kudumbigala Sanctuary is 4,403 hectares in extent. It was declared a sanctuary on September 28, 1973. Despite it being a sanctuary, a little private ownership is allowed where villagers from Panama own land within the area. There was a period when they were driven away by terrorists but now they have reclaimed their land and are living a happy farming life. While on a trip to the Kudumbigala Sanctuary, you can see the Helawa lagoon in its majesty and tranquility. Fishing in the lagoon is permitted and this is a practice that had been going on for many years before the area was declared a sanctuary. Towards the interior is a large complex of rock ridges and big granite boulders where somewhere in the second century B.C., one of the earliest cave-dwelling hermitages of bhikkhus was located. Traces of this ancient hermitage are seen even today with prominent Brahmin inscriptions under the drip-ledges of the caves.
