Leopards, sloth bears and elephants are the "big 3" here although crocodiles, jackals and the many variety of birds are also a huge draw to this park which is the largest national park in the country.

Day 7: Tissamaharama (near Yala) – Galle – Mirissa

Breakfast at the hotel. Check out and leave for Galle.

The South Coast’s major city is Galle, whose oldest landmark is the massive Portuguese and Dutch
Fort which is a “World Heritage Site” in which the central city is contained. But the city may be
much older. Some scholars believe it to be the “Tarshish” of the Old Testament, to which King
Solomon sent his merchant vessels, and to which Jonah fled from the Lord.
Today, the 90-acre Galle Fort shows no evidence of the Portuguese founders. The Dutch
incorporated the Portuguese northern wall in a great rampart in 1663. A second, taller wall was
built inside of it. Between the two walls, a covered passage connected the central bastion with the
Fort’s two half bastions overlooking the sea.

The Dutch also installed a sophisticated drainage system, complete with brick-lined underground
sewers that were flushed twice a day by the high and low tides. The original gate to the fort was by
the harbour. It is still there, marked by the British Coat-of-arms on the front and the Dutch V.O.C.
(Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie) with the Coat-of-arms with a rooster crest, on the inner side
of the Fort.

Check in to your hotel and relax at the hotel.

Day 8 : Mirissa

You will leave the hotel early in the morning with a packed breakfast for a whale watching boat
trip in Mirissa.

You will spot blue whales dolphins and many other amazing marine animals to have a memorable

Day 9: Mirissa– Colombo - Airport

After breakfast, you will leave for Colombo.

Enjoy a city tour of Colombo which is the largest city and former administrative capital of Sri Lanka
and is a busy and vibrant city with a mixture of modern life and remnants of a bygone colonial era.
Due to its large harbor and its strategic position along the East-West Sea trade routes, Colombo was
known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. However, it was only made the Capital of the island
when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. The main city is home to a majority of the
Sri Lanka’s corporate offices, restaurants and entertainment venues. On this tour you will visit
many of the historical, religious and commercial sites of Colombo.
