The Madu Ganga is a shallow yet beautiful water body in Sri Lanka that is home to some of the many important species of mangroves. Here are a few pointers you should know before you opt for a safari on the river.
Madu Ganga
Madu Ganga surrounds 64 charming islands of varying sizes. The largest island which is called “Ma Doowa” is home to about 300 families. The smallest island is called the “Satha Paha Doowa.”
What you will experience
The most important factor of the fragile eco-system of the Madu Ganga is its mangrove forests. These mangrove forests provide a home and as well as protection for a vast number of aquatic birds, animals and plants. The ecosystem is beautiful to watch with the serene and shallow waters of the river giving way to mangroves and an abundance of flora and fauna.
Relax and indulge in a luxurious setting
Needless to say once you have finished your trip, you will wish to relax and find rejuvenation as the tour can really sap your energy. Travellers who are visiting this town can choose from many Sri Lanka beach hotels and resorts, the likes of Cinnamon Bey Beruwala that’s located in close proximity to the beautiful Madu Ganga and its cluster of islands.
Things to carry with you
You will have to carry ample water with you as the hot sun of the island will be burning your skin and parching your throat all day. You should also wear loose and comfortable clothing made from breathable fabric and wear a cap or a hat to protect yourself from the harsh rays of the sun.
