Visit Thalangama to discover a scenic wetland!
The Thalangama wetlands lie on the outskirts of Colombo around the Thalangama Lake. The park is easily reachable by motorable roads. The terrain here is comprised of ponds, paddy fields and canals that offer a suitable dwelling to birds and reptiles alike. The lakes here are magical at dusk especially when you find winged creatures wading through lilies on the water surface. The visitor is enthralled here by the rare mix of colours and sounds all year around, making a visit a treat to the eye and a symphony to the ear.
As Colombo is only 30 minutes away, this could be an outing you can plan even if you are just stopping over for a short period.
What can you expect to spot?
Water Cock, White-throated Kingfisher, Kingfisher, Heron, Jacana, Egret, Yellow Bittern, Black Bittern, Purple-faced Leaf Monkey, Water Monitor, butterflies and dragonflies.
