Galle would be described in a travel magazine as an unequalled example of living history. TRAVEL writers are famous for the hype and phrases they use to promote destinations. On rare occasions, the cliches turn out to be true, Galle is one such example.
When we imagine a tropical island, we think of golden beaches, lush palm trees and blue oceans. So we wouldn’t expect to go on safari. However, Sri Lanka is an island where we should expect to come across the unexpected time and time again.
Most tropical destinations have a monsoon season and a dry season. Sri Lanka has two monsoons and two dry seasons, so it is important to have a good understanding of the seasons when planning a trip to the island.
