Galle Holiday Packages

Galle is a glittering jewel perched on the Indian Ocean in south-western Sri Lanka, enticing travellers from the world over to witness its picturesque setting, vibrant atmosphere, unique architecture and historical fort. As you choose from our Galle packages, get ready for a memorable trip to one of the most loved destinations in Sri Lanka that offers everything a traveller could ask for.

As you walk along the majestic ramparts of Galle Fort, you can marvel at its impressive architecture and witness breathtaking ocean views on all three sides. This UNESCO world heritage site fort is truly a captivating attraction that presents the perfect blend of intriguing history, spectacular setting and interesting cultural elements. As you walk through this iconic fort created by the Portuguese and Dutch, you can explore the charming boutiques and quaint cafes that add to the allure of the place. Any trip to Galle would be incomplete without visiting the Unawatuna beach with its calming waters perfect for swimming and unwinding. While Galle’s National Museum is a treasure trove of the country’s relics, artefacts and history, Galle’s buzzing markets are a delight for shopaholics looking for some interesting knick-knacks and jewellery. Those looking for tranquil moments by the sea can witness a splendid sunset at the historic Flag Rock, while adventure seekers can indulge in scuba diving, snorkelling and surfing too. With rejuvenating spa options as well as the chance to try your hand at cooking local cuisine, Galle packages pack in the perfect ingredients for an escape from mundane routine.

How to Reach

By Air

The most convenient way to reach Galle from India is by taking a direct flight from one of the major cities to either Colombo or other two nearby airports. While flights to Colombo are available from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, you can also take a flight to Diyawanna airport from Chennai and Bengaluru. After reaching Colombo airport, you can take a convenient taxi to reach Galle in around 3 hours.

Best Time to Visit

Located on the south-western tip of Sri Lanka, Galle experiences tropical climate and moderate temperatures throughout the year ranging between 23 and 31 degrees Celsius. While it is a year round destination, December to April are considered the best months to book your Galle packages.

Summers

Galle experiences hot and dry weather during the summer months from December to February, with temperature hovering between 29-31 degrees. With plenty of sunshine and occasional rainfall, it is a good time to explore the outdoors. The months of February-April are considered the best for visiting this lovely coastal town as there is hardly any rainfall.

Monsoons

Galle experiences heavy rainfall between May and September, making it difficult to visit outdoor attractions. This is also the time to grab great deals.

Winters

October and November experience a drop in temperature as well as rainfall, making it a good time for adventure activities.

Places to Visit

Galle Fort

This majestic sea-side fort packs in a heady dose of history, architecture, culture and leisure, making it a must-visit site on all Galle packages. You can walk along the impressive ramparts for brilliant ocean views or amble along its vibrant streets to indulge in shopping and savouring local cuisine. It is also home to a few interesting museums within the fortified area.

National Museum of Galle

The impressive National Museum offers insights into the history and culture of the region, as well as displays a wide range of archaeological artefacts. You can witness a good collection of traditional masks, wood carvings and ornamental objects made from turtle shells.

Unawatuna

Considered to be amongst the best beaches of the country, Unawatuna is blessed with golden sands, turquoise waters and swaying palms. The picturesque setting and calm waters of the beach makes it a great place for unwinding and taking a refreshing dip during your memorable Galle tour.

Japanese Peace Pagoda

Nestled in the middle of rainforests between Galle fort and Unawatuna, this symbol of peace is a sanctuary of serenity that also offers panoramic views of the bay and surrounding jungles. It is one of the three Budhhist stupas in Sri Lanka and was built with the help of Japanese monks.

Flag Rock Bastion

This Portuguese bastion atop Flag Rock at the far end of Galle Fort was earlier used for signalling ships arriving at the shore, but is popular now for its marvelous sunset views and tranquil setting.

Deepikapariyani's 7 days trip to Sri Lanka

3 years ago
Hotels Feedback : 1)Mirrisa Regent was a Oyo room ,it was not a proper 3* property, First of all they didn't have our booking information, Welcome drink was not server, No power most of the time and they didn't have power backup also.In-fact a water bottle was provided even after asking. breakfast was horrible ( 2 slice of bread and butter with 1 banana and 1 yogurt) Complete Money waste and spoiler of the trip, Please don't book this hotel for any guest and try to refund the money for the same to US. 2)Welcome drink was not provided at Ceylon city hotel also. Other Hotels were good specially 'Ella flower garden resort'(Best Hotel in the whole trip) Car Service : Superb Driver : He(Nisam) is not good enough because of him we ended up paying more money every where(initial 2-3 days). He took us to the places where he has tie up with people over there, We realized it on the third day when we confirmed the price of Tuk-tuk with other people and we got to know that we payed 3 times the amount of what other people paid over there and his reaction for the voice we raised was very bad.He stopped the car in middle and said call the 'Direct Link' people and get another driver. Second driver : Izme : he was good and decent. Travel Triangle : Initially when we were esquiring that time the response was good enough but after we paid the first installment then the response has been changed.We need to do multiple follow-up to get the information. Final itinerary also we got the last moment after multiple follow-ups. No suggestion provided by travel agent about the places to visit and stay such as he could have guided us to stay and spend more time in Bentota instead of Galle. Infact Visa information was provided after asking. The complete itinerary was planned by us. Over all experience was average with Travel Triangle.

Apoorva's 7 days trip to Sri Lanka

3 years ago
This was my second trip with Travel Triangle. We booked honeymoon to Sri Lanka and wanted to stay in 4* hotels. Fresco Water Villa in Sigiriya, Fairway Sunset in Galle, Hotel Mermaid in Bentota, Cinnamon Citadel in Kandy and Ceylon City Hotel in Colombo. All hotels were good apart from Ceylon City Hotel which apparently had 3.9 star rating but rooms were extremely small and washroom even more. I would not give credit for the hotels to my coordinator as the initial suggestion for hotels were very generic and did not had great reviews. I had to do my research to find the best hotels in each area. Travel Triangle and my coordinator were open to N number of customization which helped. As far as itinerary is concerned, it was very basic and did not had any special plans and services for honeymoon couples. I had clearly made a point in the beginning of the quotation that we would like this vacation to be relaxed however itinerary was very exhaustive. We were traveling and in cab most of the time and could not enjoy services of any hotels (Pool, Spa and many other). Also, there were complimentary (Room Decoration and Cake) that we were supposed to get in Cinnamon Citadel but we didn't get both. That was one thing that we really didn't want hotel and coordinator to miss but it was missed. Everything else was executed smooth. So my recommendation to all the future travelers would be to do your bit of research and do not go by the itinerary you get. Travel Triangle is happy to customize and would consider the changes but only if you ask for else you might regret later on missing the main tourist attractions. Coming to the cab and driver Ismath, I think this was best out of everything. Just like all other testimonial that I read, I had no challenges with the driver. He was well informed and aware of the places to visit and places to eat. Overall a good trip.

Priyanka's 4 days trip to Sri Lanka

3 years ago
Hotel Kandyan in Kandy was awesome and the buffet spread was quite good. Day 2 we reached Bentota (Joe's Beach resort) at around 2:30 and till then room was not ready, we have to wait another half an hour to get the room. Strange that the hotel was providing vegan food for the buffet. So we requested for fish. The fish steak was good but we were not allowed to eat vegetarian dishes. Day 3 we went to Colombo from Bentota, the city tour was really good, we spend some quality time at Galle Green Face as it was really close to our Colombo hotel (Wonder Hotel), food served in this hotel was average. As a whole it was a good budget trip.

Arindamgoswami's 10 days trip to Sri Lanka

3 years ago
The trip was excellent as Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful places I have visited. It's cleanliness is note worthy. The scenic beauty of the beaches, it's strong historical importance of Buddhism and the extremely well mannered citizens makes the country one of the finest tourist spot and hence a must visit for all tourists. The hotels and food at Magampura Eco Resort Village ( adjacent to Yala National Park), The Lady Hill Hotel at Galle, Kamili Beach Villa Hotel at Kaluatara were very good with special mention of The Lady Hill Hotel at Galle which was excellent. However, stay at Star White Hotel at Negombo was not good. Would recommend to avoid this place. The driver and vehicle of Vista Vacations were good and they have made the trip bookings quite well.

Tadepalli's 9 days trip to Sri Lanka

I'm very glad i chose Hellow Travels for my 9D/8N (28th Dec 2019 - 5th Jan 2020) family trip to Srilanka. Mr. Dhanuka Prasad is a very knowledgeable and friendly person. He was available 24x7 round the clock and helped me a great deal in finalizing my itinerary, getting me ETA(visa) and clarifying any doubts i had. I was travelling with my parents (60+ yo) and an infant (3yo) and hence i specially asked Dhanuka to provide me with a very caring driver. He totally did his 100% in this matter. We were allotted a Tourist board approved Chauffeur Mr. Ahamad who is GEM of a person! We felt very safe with him all through the tour and he went out of his way to help us all through the trip especially in getting good deals at sightseeing/activities and finding decent indian restaurants for lunch and dinner. He also very punctual and made sure we covered the entire itinerary and a few extra sightseeing places too! We visited Colombo, Pinnawala, Sigiriya, Trincomalee, Dambulla, Kandy, Kitugala Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Galle, Bentota. The White water rafting at Kitugala, water sports at Bentota, Zipline at Ella were highlights of the tour. Mr Dhanuka booked very good hotels offering breath taking views from the hotel rooms/windows and a very tasty breakfast in a decent budget. He even managed to get 6 train tickets for us on the Nanu oya - Ella train which was a beautiful train ride offering amazing views of tea plantations and waterfalls. This was the first international trip to 4 of my family members and Mr. Dhanuka really made it a memorable one for them. I would 100% recommend Hellow Travels to any one planning to visit Sri Lanka without a second thought. Thank you Mr. Ahamad and Dhanuka from Hellow Travels for everything and i wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Lastly, at the time of booking the tour, travel triangle executive informed me that they will contact me everyday during the tour for any feedback/assistance which never happened! So it would have been good on their part if they really kept up their promise.

Animesh's 6 days trip to Sri Lanka

3 years ago
We travelled to Sri Lanka from 27 December 2019 to 2 January 2020. Since we were travelling with a one year old, we didn’t plan an extensive trip and covered Colombo, Galle and Bentota. Our holiday was planned by Udani Holidays who are based out of Bentota. I must say it was a smooth ride from planning the holiday to the holiday itself. They helped us plan our trip and were very receptive to our suggestions and concerns. From the time we landed at Colombo to the time we were dropped back at the Colombo Airport we were really taken care of. We would recommend Udani to everyone planning a trip to Srilanka. A special shout out to Ravishi for doing a great job and making our holiday wonderful! Loved the beach at Galle! It was our baby’s first time at the beach! What beautiful memories!

The trip was good. However we had to change the hotels provided by the agent. In the process we were not provided with refund of hotels cancelled. The car was comfortable. The driver was good. Although we expected him to guide us too he was little disconnected in that respect. But no complaints on his driving. The white water rafting in Nuwara eliya and bike tour in galle were highlight. These two are must do. The jungle safari in afternoon was expensive and a total failure.
