• Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project - Visit the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project for an enlightening and insightful journey through this turtle sanctuary and conservation initiative. Established in 1988, the program aims to protect local nesting sites threatened by humans and predators, while also monitoring the declining sea turtle activity in the area. The sanctuary features a large hatchery for protected and collected eggs.
• Tsunami Photo Museum - Explore the Tsunami Photo Museum to witness the gallery’s condition a few months and years after the Tsunami. The museum is built on the original foundation, which was the only structure remaining after the disaster.
• Stilt Fishermen Sri Lanka - After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, proceed to see the Stilt Fishermen. The southern region of Sri Lanka is renowned for its culture and beaches, and if you’re fortunate, you might witness this unique fishing method! Stilt fishing is a distinctive technique native to Sri Lanka, known as “the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.”
• Galle Fort - Next, travel to Galle Fort. In the 18th century, the Dutch established their headquarters, Galle Fort, on the Sri Lankan coast. Today, the historic buildings have been transformed into trendy shops, cafes, and restaurants. UNESCO has designated Galle Fort as a World Heritage site, ensuring the preservation of its architectural beauty. Enjoy shopping, exploring history, or watching the sunset from the fort’s walls.

• Galle Fort Clock Tower - Head to the Clock Tower, a famous landmark overlooking the central Moon Bastion, located on the site of the former guard room.
• Meera Mosque - Then, explore Meera Mosque. Situated at Galle Fort, it offers a stunning view of the Lighthouse and a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean. Men can enter and admire the remarkable architecture both inside and outside, but it’s important to respect those who worship there, as it is the most active mosque in Galle.
• Maritime Archaeology Museum - Your final stop will be the Maritime Archaeology Museum. This museum in Galle showcases a collection of boat models, maps, artillery, and items recovered from shipwrecks, some nearly a century old. Housed in a 1671 Dutch warehouse, it was significantly affected by the 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka, but since 2010, it has been restored with assistance from the Netherlands and is well-maintained and educational.
