Migratory Birds × Mangroves | Sri Lanka's Winter-Only Ecological Feast

| Sri Lanka's winter-only ecological feast. 🔶🔶🔶Sri Lanka's Bentota Mangrove Forest is like a mysterious green realm hidden in the tropical seaside. The average temperature here in winter is 20°C - 25°C, with a cool and pleasant climate, attracting a large number of rare birds to stop and overwinter. At the same time, the mangrove forest is also a wild and interesting ecological home, inhabited by lizards, crocodiles, and other wild animals. Even in winter, they are active, either shuttling through the forest or lying quietly on the mudflats, adding infinite vitality to the Bentota Mangrove Forest. 🎏Tour process: 1️⃣Boat tours are the core activity of the Bentota Mangrove Forest. We had a private boat tour, and the whole boat trip lasted 2 hours. 2️⃣During the boat trip, you can see kingfishers flying over the water, egrets perching on branches, and lizards sunbathing on tree trunks. If you're lucky, you may also find snakes hidden in the mangrove forest. 3️⃣When the boat shuttles through the narrow river channels, the dense mangrove forest on both sides blocks out the sun, and the sunlight shines through the leaves, forming golden beams of light, creating a dreamlike scene. Be sure to take photos quickly. 🌟Note: Most boatmen are experienced and will enthusiastically explain the flora and fauna in the mangrove forest and help you find the best viewing spots. You can give them a tip to show your appreciation. 📍Tips: 1️⃣Mangroves are extremely precious ecosystems. Do not damage the vegetation and habitats in the mangrove forest. 2️⃣When taking a boat, follow the boatman's instructions, do not stand or move around on the boat, and pay attention to safety. 🚍Transportation: 🚞From Colombo, there is a train to Bentota. The train journey offers picturesque scenery, and the right-side window seat provides a view of the Indian Ocean coastline. After arriving at Bentota Railway Station, take a tuk-tuk to the destination. 🛺Taking a tuk-tuk from Galle is the most convenient way, with a journey time of about 30 minutes.
