Cows on the beach?! 🐄🌊
Yep, just your average day in paradise…

Our Adventureworld Sri Lanka journey winds down through Galle, where Dutch colonial charm meets tropical ease. Stroll the 17th-century Fort, catch a glimpse of the famous cricket ground (Australia vs Sri Lanka, anyone? 🏏), and lose yourself in boutique-lined lanes and sea-sprayed cafés.

And just when you think you’ve seen it all—Kosgoda Beach delivers golden sands, peaceful waves, and yes… beach-loving cows living their best lives.

Sri Lanka, you never fail to surprise 🧡
