YA(2006) and smallest (29 sq hectares) nation-
al parks, Galway’s Land is a dense patch of
montane forest a few kilometres east of
town. It is renowned for its birdlife, includ-
ing 10 Sri Lankan endemics, as well as wild
boar, barking deer and other mammals.
Park guides are available by donation from
the park office and a 2km walking trail also
leaves from here.Gregory Lake lAKE
(adult/child Rs 200/20, paddle boat per 30min Rs
500, motorboat per 30min Rs 1500, horse per 15min
Rs 300; h8am-6pm) Enjoying the paved walk-ways, paddling a swan-shaped paddle boat
(or a giant helicopter boat) or trotting around
on a pony are all good reasons to devote an
hour or so to Gregory Lake, at the southern
end of town. There are also picnic tables, a
small restaurant and a snack bar. Boat hire is
from the smaller adjoining lake on the oppo-
site side of the road from the main lake.Lovers Leap viEWPOiNT
From the Pedro Tea Estate (p167), take a very
enjoyable 5km (round-trip) walk to Lovers
Leap, an impressive waterfall.
From the tea factory, cross the main road
and follow the signs to the tea manager’s bun-
galow along the dirt road. At the first cross-
roads go left and at the the three-way junction
take the middle path until, after about 15 min-
utes, you hit a dirt parking area. A foot-only
track heads left through the tea gardens to-
wards the forest and a rock face. Follow this
trail and, just beyond the small Shiva shrine,
you’ll see the spluttering waterfalls.6
