Muthurajawela Bird Sanctuary
Muthurajawela (the royal pearl fields) referring to the grains of rice planted during the King's days.

The canals constructed by the Dutch for transportation cut across these fields and resulted in salinity of the water and abandoning of the fields. It is a Marsh, intertwined with the fresh water streams, a brackish estuary and the salty lagoon all in one location affording a huge bio diversity of aquatic, terrestrial and avi fauna. Pass through the canals, river, estuary and lagoon and observe the migratory birds flying along the north-west coast for the winter holidays and a variety of amphibians, mammals and fish.

Property Location: Negombo


Location Information:

Negombo is a fishing hamlet on the western coast of the island. Its close proximity to the Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake makes Negombo a first or last stop when visiting the island.

The Negombo town was captured by the Dutch from the Portuguese in 1640 and lost in the same year and re-captured in 1644. In 1796 the British took it over. During the Dutch period Negombo was one of the most important sources of cinnamon, the sweetest of which grew along the coastal belt near Negombo.

The busy town of Negombo has a selection of colourful shopping arcades and interesting rustic restaurants. It boasts a rich cultural heritage with impressive Roman Catholic churches built by the Portuguese and the ruins of an Old Dutch Fort.

The Old Dutch Fort and the Dutch Cemetery with a huge Banyan tree are interesting sites. Other Dutch buildings that are still in use include the lagoon rest house. The Dutch also built a network of canals from South of Negombo to Colombo, and North of Negombo to Puttalam totalling a distance of 74.6 miles / 120 km.

The Negombo lagoon is dotted with dugout canoes or 'oru'. Fish auctions on the beach are a common and interesting site. A Fisherman's Festival is held in late July.
