Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Small village 3 km inland from Galle Fort and beautiful beaches. We get around mainly by tuk tuk or motorbike. Lovely and peaceful area to live. All the joy of nearby tourist areas but not any of the noise and crowds. Lots of paddy fields and tea plantations in the area. There are little shops in our village and large supermarkets in Galle town.
