we invite you to discover the captivating town of Galle! Nestled along the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka, just a short 119 km from Colombo, Galle is a treasure trove of history and charm.
Known as Gimhathiththa in Sinhalese, Galle’s story is woven through centuries, from its bustling days as the island’s main port before the Portuguese arrived in the 16th century to its golden age under Dutch colonial rule in the 18th century.
One of the town’s most enchanting features is the picturesque Gin River, which locals know as the Gin Ganga. Flowing from Gongala Kanda, this river winds through quaint villages like Neluwa and Nagoda, enhancing the area’s natural beauty before gracefully meeting the sea at Ginthota.
