Away from the hustle-bustle of Colombo, Bolgoda is the perfect destination for anybody looking to enjoy their time in nature. Amidst greenery and by the lake, the sunrises and sunsets are especially beautiful here.

Historically, the waters here were used for transportation of logs from the Sinharaja forest to the timber mills in Moratuwa. However, this region is now known for travel and leisure. Still a more offbeat spot sans throngs of tourists, it offers peace and tranquility in abundance.

The biodiversity in the lake area is interesting to observe – from various aquatic creatures, to beautiful birds, you can see them all in their natural habitat.
