+ $65 |
| Tour to Galle - Day 5 Visit Galle, once the chief port of Ceylon and a town that is rich in history. It served as the center of the Dutch regime in the 17th century and the majestic Galle Fort (spanning 90 acres) bears testimony to this fact. The fort, a World Heritage Site, is one of the finest examples of a walled city built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later extended by the Dutch in 1663. Galle is one of the most well-preserved colonial-era cities in Southeast Asia and has been declared a World Heritage Site. Take a stroll through the Dutch-haunted streets listening to the creaks of wooden saloon doors and see how European architecture mingles with South Asian traditions. As you walk within the fort, you will witness the ‘old gates’ with the British coat of arms before coming across the oldest lighthouse in the area at Point Utrecht Bastion. Here, you will have a fantastic panoramic view of the southern Indian Ocean. |
