Getaway in Colombo

On 14 Apr 201201 Jun 2023 By Indrajit Roy ChoudhuryIn Beaches & Shores, Places of Worship, Sri LankaLeave a comment

Due to its large harbour and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. It was made the capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. While returning from our trip to Maldives in April, 2010 we stayed in Colombo for two nights and three days.
