Itinerary
Gangaramaya Temple
- Gangaramaya Temple: Your day begins with pickup from your hotel or Colombo Port, followed by a visit to one of Sri Lanka's most venerated Buddhist temples. Situated on the picturesque Beira Lake, Gangaramaya was founded over 120 years ago and has grown from a modest hermitage into an internationally recognized place of worship housing a museum, library, and relic chamber.
Seema Malaka Temple
- Seema Malaka: A serene Buddhist temple set upon the waters of Beira Lake. Originally built in the late 19th century, this floating sanctuary is primarily used for meditation and quiet reflection rather than formal worship.
Galle Face Green
- Galle Face Green: After exploring the old and new neighborhoods of Fort and Pettah, unwind at the world-famous Galle Face Green. This elegant oceanfront promenade overlooks the Indian Ocean, flanked by swaying palm trees and the historic Galle Face Hotel — known as Asia's Emerald on the Green since 1864.
Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque
- Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque: Visit this striking mosque built in 1908 by Sri Lankan Muslims, celebrated for its distinctive red-and-white striped architecture and serving as an important place for daily prayers.
Independence Square
- Independence Square: Conclude your sightseeing at this landmark monument commemorating Sri Lanka's independence from colonial rule. Built on the very site where the 1948 self-rule ceremony took place, the square features a museum chronicling the nation's journey to freedom.
