Hunupitiya Travel Guide

Colombo

Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

Small criticism, the step from the main room into the bathroom was a bit ...

There were plenty of friendly staff, but they were not attentive. ...
