Essence of Galle: (Signature Tour), Galle Fort
Sri Lanka, Galle

Galle is the heart of the south coast. It is most famous for mastery in local seafood fresh from the morning catch, warm hospitality and of course, the iconic Dutch Fort which hides within its walls a colourful subculture of its own. This is the essence of Galle and you can experience it too.

Join one of our friends from Galle, to walk you through the local market to purchase vegetables and fish fresh off the nets which his wife will then teach you to cook with the culinary secrets of the South. After a scrumptious lunch, at your own pace, you can explore the Fort where the cobbled roads and unique architecture with the mustard walls will transport you to another era.

You can also spend a morning cycling through the villages, taking in the beauty of the checked paddy fields and trickling streams. There’s also a chance to try your hand at whipping up some “hoppers” (local tea time, pancake like snack)!
