An evening on the Polwatta River.
An evening on the Polwatta River.
Spend an evening with Sanjeewa, a Weligama fisherman, journeying along the peaceful Polwatta River on a hand-made boat he built himself. Just two minutes from the busy main road you find a tranquil escape where mangroves and birds tell their stories. Taste kirala, the wild mangrove apple, and learn the quiet art of river fishing — a skill Sanjeewa has mastered through generations of patience — as the day fades into dusk.
