Galle fort
The fort has a colourful history, and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population.

The heritage value of the fort has been recognized by UNESCO and the site has been inscribed as a cultural heritage UNESCO World Heritage Site under criteria iv, for its unique exposition of "an urban ensemble which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

This waterfall measures approximately 25 m (82 ft) in height and cascades from an oval-shaped concave rock outcrop. During the local wet season, the waterfall turns into what is said to resemble an areca flower with withering petals. But this is not the case in the dry season when the flow of water reduces dramatically. The falls form part of the Ravana Ella Wildlife Sanctuary and are located 6 km (3.7 mi) away from the local railway station.

The falls have been named after the legendary Sinhala king Ravana, which is connected to the famous Indian epic, the Ramayana. According to legend, it is said that Ravana (who was the king of Sri Lanka at the time) had kidnapped princess Sita, and had hidden her in the caves behind this waterfall, now simply known as the Ravana Ella Cave. At the time, the cave was surrounded by thick forests in the midst of the wilderness. It is also believed that Rama’s queen bathed in a pool that accumulated the water falling from this waterfall. They believed that Ravana has played the Ravanahatha over here.

    southern Sri Lanka 7 days trip gave a great taste of what this island has to offer. Everything offered in the was beyond my expectations, food accommodation and activities. As 2 girls travelling alone we felt safe and included the whole trip. Our personal guide Silva was amazing and I highly recommend this Sri Lanka tour.

  31. Chanthan:

    For people who like privacy and independence, this is an excellent tour. All the transfers, sightseeing and activities (except whale watching) are private. everything is happening to our taste and pace. It gives you security and enables easy comfortable and interesting travel adventures. It offers a chance to share experiences and learn about other cultures and places without any hassle.

    Excellent Sri Lanka trip to enjoy the beauty scenery

  34. Jen Melisa:

    We thoroughly enjoyed the Sri Lanka southern tour. The itinerary has an excellent blend of Sri Lankan scenery across southern and hill country of Sri Lanka. Visited many vibrant Sri Lankan cities such as Galle, Mirissa, Nuwara Eliya and Kandy, and charming heritage stays at smaller villages such as Tissamaharama. Highlights of the trip included whale watching tip-off Mirissa, a full-day safari of Yala, awed by the grandeur of Galle Fort and its well preserved ancient constructions, learning about Sri Lankan cuisine at a cooking class in southern Sri Lanka, experiencing lunch with a local family in Yala. I must say that our driver/Guide Silva was an excellent and great help for us to enjoy our private trip. He went above and beyond to ensure all group members had a unique and memorable experience. I would highly recommend this trip!

    Fantastic 8 days trip with nice scenery. The wildlife safari was the most striking part of the trip for us and it was a thrilling adventure travelling on a wide-open jeep through the lush green vegetation. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and blessed with lush green vegetation. Good hotel, Nice vehicle and fun-loving, very good driver/guide.

    Excellent tour itinerary

  40. Leon Harper:

    For people who love privacy, fun and knowledge this is an excellent private tour. The southern Srilanka tour includes good hotels and a wide variety of scenery and activities across beaches of the south and the mountains of Srilankan hills. It offers a chance to share experiences and learn about other cultures and places without any hassle. It is well worth of venturing on this Sri Lankan trip.

  41. Terry Bakovik:

    The trip is carefully crafted for leisure seekers I think because it gives you a lot of time to plunge into the sea and lie on the beach. Good food and good hotels. Most of all lot of time during the trip.

  42. Ginia Troshia:

    I love the beach and leisure but my wife contrary to my wishes like scenery and love nature. It was a great dilemma to find a trip package which serves both of us. Fortunately, southern Sri Lanka tour was the best match for us we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. At teh beginning, we got plenty of time on the beach with a lot of leisure, towards the latter end mountain scenery, fauna and flora as well as cultural places. Our Guide Malan was great and drew very carefully on the chaotic roads.

  43. Ilham machol:

    Our guide Malan was good and very helpful. The trip itinerary is well planned with good hotels, food and good vehicle

  44. Khalinad:

    It was raining from start to the end and out trips was washed off.
