Touring Sri Lanka: Day Trips Outside Galle

David’s Been Here continues its journey through Sri Lanka to the towns of Weligama and Mirissa. On the road from Galle to Yala National Park, David stops to see the traditional fishing methods in Weligama, where fishermen climb high stilts out in the water to get a better cast into the sea. Be aware when on the lookout for these famous fishermen though, many are part of a tourist trap! Heading further down the coast, David stops in the small town of Mirissa, famous for its whale watching excursions. Visit this beautiful fishing village loaded with everything from tiny catamarans to industrial deep sea fishing boats, or come around January to April for peak whale watching times. Tour these beautiful small towns of Sri Lanka during a day trip from Galle with the DBH Guide: Galle, also available for your Kindle.
