Wonderful Experience
Thank you for organising the tour of Colombo and also Galle. They were very interesting and informative days. Rohan was a very good guide telling us about history and culture and pointing out places of interest; our driver did a wonderful job getting us around safely. The days were made more special in the presence of good companions. Again, thank you all.
Wonderful experience, Thanks CDC and Amandi for making it happen.

Inside a textile shop in Galle, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Sunlight filters through the windows, casting a warm glow on shelves filled with colorful fabrics and intricately designed garments. Visitors run their fingers over soft silks and cottons, marveling at the exquisite craftsmanship of handwoven textiles. The air is filled with the scent of natural dyes, adding to the sensory experience.

We are also would like to thank all people who made our days here the days to remember
