    Streets of Colombo 



The street of Colombo! The most executive, hectic places in sri lanka filled with the ancient architectures!

 Pettah market or Manning Market is an open market in Pettah, Colombo. The Market is most famous for wholesale distribution out of Colombo.

These chaotic streets are always crowded, noisy and packed with tuk tuks, wooden carts and street vendors. In these miniscule shops you will find everything you will ever need for ridiculous prices. And if you’re planning on going shopping here, do some research, as different streets specialise in different items.
Best way to witness the market is by foot, since even if you manage to take your car in through the madness, parking will be impossible.

Picking up the magnificent scent of culinary spices in Sri Lanka flea markets is what first blew my mind. It was a unique discovery that came quite unexpectedly because I did not plan to go to the market that day

Offering anything from jewelry & electronics to fresh produce, the Pettah market in Colombo sure is worth a visit. The market’s location is in a quite busy district of Colombo and every street of this local market is dedicated to a different trade. Make sure to be able to spend at least half a day if you consider giving Pettah market a good try.

Explore Sigiriya The Eighth Wonder of the World Sigiriya Rock, Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, the ancient citadel of Sigiriya sits atop a giant granite rock rising 200 m above the surrounding countryside. There are conflicting theories about the history of Sigiriya, but according to the Mahavamsa King Kassapa killed his father, King Dhatusena, in AD 477 to inherit the throne. Fearing retribution from his half-brother, Mogallana, Kassapa built an impregnable palace-fortress on the summit of the rock between AD 477 and 485. The site is thought to have been occupied for millennia, but much of what can be seen here today is attributed to the time of King Kassapa. The ruins were first discovered by British archaeologists in the early 20th century, and excavations have continued here ever since.
