Hunupitiya Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake. I really recommend this place for you who are visiting Sri Lanka. Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.

We had a fine stay, but this is definitely not a 5-star hotel. Rooftop was beautiful and breakfast was delicious, however our room had frosted glass so we couldn't see outside and the finishes were very cheap.
