Sri Lanka’s Capital Colombo, a port city, with a rich colonial heritage, on the Western coast is a potpourri of races, religions and cultures. Colombo displays the best and worst the country has to offer. The city is a contrast itself, with mansions, lush gardens, fine dining options, shopping malls packed with expensive designer brands standing next to urban slums; diesel fumed congested roads and street markets. Despite its small size just 37.31 km² Colombo offers a varying selection of experience ranging from taking a tuktuk ride, a visit to Pettah market and eating Kottu to playing a round of golf and having high tea at one of the colonial style hotels overlooking the Indian Ocean. With many boutiques filled with international brands and local art and fabrics Colombo is the best place to do the last minute shopping and then it’s best to retire to Galle face, Colombo;s playground for some Kottu or Wade.

12 THINGS IN COLOMBO
Description
Built in 1879, Royal Colombo Golf Club was only the second club in the world to receive the royal charter; and it is worthy of this accolade. It is a tight and challenging 5,770 metre course that rewards both strategic defensive golf and long hitting. The fairways are inviting but unless you’re accurate off the tee, huge trees and other obstacles will hinder your second shot. If the monstrous trees are not enough, the course also entertains 13 well placed water traps. From the very 1st hole, where a lake protects the green, water comes into play. These hazards are also home to a number of local giant monitor lizards so beware. Each hole on this course presents a different challenge, and the course is deceptively difficult. One of the more testing holes on this course is the par 3, 13th, that requires a daunting carry over water to a bunker protected green. While Royal Colombo does not match Victoria or Nuwara Eliya for scenery, the course does offer a unique golfing experience. Situated in the middle of Colombo, the course is a lush green oasis of tranquility amidst a bustling city. The Kelani Valley railway runs along the 6th fairway, and the crowded trains that clatter through the course are yet another interesting feature.
