Galle Dutch Fort


Galle fort is fairly small, but there are plenty of remarkable places to visit.
Established on a large portion of land in Galle many years ago, the Galle Dutch
Fort was used by the Portuguese until it was taken over by the Dutch. Now, it is
listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Galle Fort's colossal structure is
undeniably a deserving place on the list of places to visit in Galle.
Certainly, the beautiful scenery of this place is well admired and pre-wedding
shoots are preferred to be taken in the dutch fort by couples. Moreover, the
place is open twenty-four hours and is free of charge.

2. Japanese Peace Pagoda


For all those individuals who are looking for spiritual enlightenment and some
time for self-reflection, the Japanese Peace Pagoda would be the best place.
You can find this structure at the top of Rumassala Hill from where you can see
the massive ocean and the dense jungle. They conduct daily routines for
people at 5.30 p.m. in the evening. The building is visible for individuals
standing on Unawatuna Beach and Galle Beach. At dusk, the atmosphere is
fascinating and takes one into a different beautiful world. It is located in the
Rumassala mountain in Unawatuna. The place is open from 7.00 am to
9.00p.m.

3. Jungle Beach
You can reach this magnificent scenic place in Rumassala which is close to Galle
and Unawatuna Beach. Indeed, you can sit back and get a beautiful tan on the
sandy shore, or swim in the clear waters that show the ground underneath. If
you are a fan of aquatic life, you have the chance to spend some time
swimming to see for yourself the life of Galle's wealthy marine life. Jungle
Beach is a peaceful place that is a storehouse for all the quiet time you need on
your vacation. This beach is more relaxed with fewer people than all the other
tourist places in Galle.
4. Historical Mansion Museum
Here is another spot for history enthusiasts, who not only want to look at the
ruins of ancient times but also want to purchase some for themselves. A
variety of Dutch period antiques are on display on the private museum's
shelves. They include typewriters, jewelry, cameras, lamps, and etc. A visit to
the gem house is an impressive experience that will let you witness the
sapphire cutting & shaping as well as live embroidery. The Dutch-era is not only
a spectacular relic to look at but also a fantastic place to pose for a few
pictures.

5. Sea Turtle Hatchery Centre in Mahamodara


The Mahamodara Sea Turtle Hatchery Centre is a creative idea where
volunteers work for the survival of sea turtles who, if not taken care of, are
destined to reach extinction. The place helps turtles to hatch and grow their
babies. Certainly, the volunteers take care of a lot of sea turtles of all sizes.
Indeed, they leave the turtles in their natural habitat. It would be a very
enlightening and adorable visit. The Turtle Hatchery Centre is in the Galle Main
Road and is open from 8.00 am to 6 pm in the evening.
