About this experience
Montez à bord de votre véhicule climatisé privé pour un voyage de 10 heures le long de la côte sud du Sri Lanka, en partant de votre hôtel de Beruwala. Votre chauffeur-guide anglophone vous conduit à une fabrique de thé, où vous parcourez la chaîne de production et apprenez comment les feuilles se transforment en la tasse que vous buvez chaque matin. Le long de la côte, observez les pêcheurs sur pilotis qui se tiennent en équilibre sur leurs poteaux en bois — une technique vieille de plusieurs siècles encore pratiquée aujourd'hui. Une démonstration culinaire vous initie aux épices et aux techniques de la cuisine domestique sri-lankaise, suivie d'un déjeuner aux fruits de mer frais pour conclure la pause de midi.
L'après-midi vous mène dans la ville historique de Galle, où vous explorez le fort de Galle inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO — ses remparts de style colonial néerlandais, ses ruelles pavées et son phare se dressent fermement face à l'océan Indien. La visite convient aux voyageurs âgés de 7 ans et plus, et chaque client reçoit une bouteille d'eau d'1 litre. Le ramassage et le dépôt à l'hôtel, le transport et votre guide sont tous inclus. Les droits d'entrée, les repas autres que ceux spécifiés et les pourboires sont à vos frais.

Galle
The Galle Fort, or Dutch Fort as it is also known, is a fortification first built by the Portugese on the Southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. The initial fortifications, which were built in the late 16th century, were quite basic. However the fort underwent extensive modifications in the 17th century by the Dutch, making it one of the most important archeological, architectural and historic monuments to illutrate the European influence in South East Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. According to a statement by UNESCO the site was recognized as a World Heritage Site for its unique exposition of an urban ensemble which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries which is the criteterion number four for such recognition.
