Amazing Experience
An 18-hectare urban wetland sanctuary and boardwalk park within the Kotte Bird Sanctuary(Urban Development Authority, 2023). Opened to the public in 2016 as part of a World Bank-assisted project(Urban Development Authority, 2023), Beddagana has well-maintained trails and observation decks that allow visitors to immerse in nature without disturbing sensitive habitats. It is an “ecological haven for local and foreign tourists”, home to dozens of bird species (at least 34 resident and 18 migratory species were recorded in early surveys (Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022) as well as butterflies, dragonflies, and small mammals. Notable features include a Butterfly Walk with flowering plants that attract rare butterflies, a Duck Pond observed from a wooden tower for birdwatching at dawn/dusk, and a floating observation deck on the lake(Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022) (Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022).
The park also has a small information center (“Park School”) that provides educational exhibits and lectures on wetland biodiversity and conservation(Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022). Visitors must stay on marked trails, a rule that protects ground-nesting birds (park management has even installed artificial nest structures to encourage breeding of migratory birds)(Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka, 2022). These facilities make Beddagana an ideal model of eco-tourism blending with conservation.

Kotte Rampart Wetland Park is a true hidden gem in Colombo! Tucked away near Diyatha Uyana, it’s one of those places you wouldn’t even know existed unless someone told you... Read More about it. The best part? It’s peaceful, green, and barely crowded except for the couples who seem to have cracked the code and claimed it as their go-to spot for deep conversations (or whatever they do). For just Rs. 200 per person, you get to enjoy a quiet escape from the city buzz. There’s plenty of shade, walking paths, and a beautiful wetland view. Oh, and parking is available too!

Atmosphere is really calming 🍃 much suitable for couples only. You can't go through some pathways it's always filled with couples 😂 ticket prices are bit overpriced. Ticket entrance behavior... Read More is low. If you are willing to get relaxing with your partner.. Can recommend here 💁♂

I didn’t know this particular park existed and stumbled upon it accidentally. There’s a 100 rupee entrance fee per person and inside the park is a completely different, wetland environment... Read More even though it’s a short walking distance to the main road. It’s similar to Beddegana park, but not as extensive to explore. I love the walkways that’s been built and how it blends seamlessly with the natural environment. It’s mostly couples that were at the park when I visited, which is pretty standard. I only wish the walking paths covered more of an area. But I definitely recommend visiting if you want to spend some time in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city without having to travel too far.

Read More a refreshing experience, taking about 30-45 minutes to leisurely walk around and immerse in the serene environment.

However, it's important to note that for such arrangements, one needs to contact the Urban Development Authority (UDA) for prior booking.

Highly recommended for a quick, yet fulfilling, nature break!
