Boat ride in River Madu (Madu Ganga Wetlands)
915-hectare Madu Ganga Estuary is connected by two narrow channels to the Randombe Lake, forming a complex wetland system encompassing 64 mangrove islets. In the year 2000, International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) undertook a detailed biodiversity survey of the region & revealed the existence of no less than 10 major wetland vegetation types supporting over 300 plant species & 248 species of vertebrates. This remarkable diversity has led to its being classified under RAMSAR Convention on Wetlands in 2003. The other two wetlands in the island with the same international distinction are Bundala National Park & Anawilundawa Sanctuary.
We can take a boat trip up the Madhu Ganga. Ganga means river in Sinhala.
