The bio-diversity of the Madu River is of monumental significance when considering the wide range of aquatic and avian life, as well as wetland-dwelling amphibians, reptiles, and mammals that inhabit this natural treasure.

A total of 11 species of aquatic mollusks and 14 land-dwelling mollusks are found in this system. 70 species of fish, 31 types of reptiles, and 50 kinds of butterflies are just some of the colorful array of wildlife that inhabits this abundantly thriving ecosystem.

Bird watchers will be pleased to know that 111 species of birds have been identified in the mangrove-formed environs of the river, which also hosts several types of migratory birds.

Galle

For centuries, Galle has stood strong against invasions from colonial powers and nature’s volatile outbursts. The famous Dutch Fort was first built by the Portuguese, fortified by the Dutch, and preserved by the British.

Battered daily for over 400 years by the ocean, it even survived the onslaught of a tsunami and is enjoyed today by residents and visitors alike. The colonial architecture of the walled city has resisted the advance of modernity and continues to hold tightly to its past glory.
