Geruver (or taken) - the city in the Kalutar district, which is part of the Western province. This is one of the smallest cities of the district, less than his only Bandaraga da Panadura, but his population is about 165 thousand people (and, it is almost the most densely populated city of the district after the same Panadour!).
The name "Beruwala" comes from Sinhalean "the place where the sails are lowered" (approximately so). This is the place of the first Muslim settlement on the island, which formed Arab traders around the 8th century of our era. A fairly large number of so-called "Sri Lankan Maurines" (so they were called Portuguese), or representatives of the People of Larakal, who speaks Sinhalean, Tamil and Arabic, descendants of those merchants selling precious stones, still live in this city, and To a greater extent in the "Chinese Fort" (China Fort).
Well, so, in the city and the district, the overwhelming number of residents are Signals , as well as there are small communities Lankan Tamilov and other nations. The main religion of signals - Buddhism so, Beruvel can be called mainly by the Buddhist town (after all, the Singhals are twice the laracles here), although Mosque Ul-Abrar (MSJID-UL-Abrar) - one of the main attractions took place and one of the oldest (and beautiful) mosques on all Sri Lanka - it was erected by the same Arab traders on the rocky peninsula overlooking the city.
Still in Geruver The oldest school for girls in Sri Lanka - The name of it, however, you hardly say something. The school, like a number of other constructions of the city, was very damaged by the tsunami in 2004, but then restored. There is here, as it believes the coastal more or less large town, lighthouse which is one of the other sights. Attractions are not so much - enough of the day (or even half of the day) to inspect them all.
And earried - this is the beginning of 130-kilometer Beautiful beach So, and the beach holiday here is also possible - isn't it for this all go to such a distance including? BEREVELE Beaches are more or less calm - but it is worth expecting that a couple of guides will be staring near you, sometimes running dogs and cows (local flavor, but still depends on the hotel!), But to Egypt and Turkey far. Perhaps the biggest trouble of these edges is obsessive beach battles and tuk-tubers, they are better to beware.
Do not worry if your hotel is located in the south of the city, in the place where the full flow River Bentota Ganga. (By the way, it is very beautiful; next to the mouth is located, for example, the pretty hotel The Eden Resort & Spa, Riverina Hotel and Lanka Princess, the rest of the hotels are located on): Most likely, you will go to the dry season, and water in the river in it Time is transparent (at another time there is a little muddy) and very saline, the sand is clean, the shore's waves are small, so you can safely swim on the beach. If there are problems with this, you can, for example, to fuse on the beaches of neighboring benty, which is definitely wider and unreasonable.
Concerning Infrastructure of the city That is, it is worth noting that over the past few years, great success in development took place as a resort has been achieved. The bay is ideal for swimming for almost a whole year; In Beruval, a bunch of the most diverse Hotels (from the five-star chic complex Villa Velmarie 5 * to simpler villas for rent and small resorts); Almost every hotel has a restaurant, but also a town can offer a number. Beach restaurants With an excellent on the coast.
Also tourists actively engaged Marine cruises ride B. National Park Yala , attend Galle , walk in Botanic Brief Gardens Garden , Engaged in water sports - the perfect vacation, what to say!
Is it possible in earvele Shopping ? It all depends on what you want to buy. If these are souvenirs, fresh food / fruit or beachwear, then there will be no problems with these problems, and for more serious purchases it is worth going to Colombo.
Thus, Beruvel can recommend thirsty, peaceful rest On the lap nature. It is not recommended to lovers of noisy night parties and Yarym fans of Turkish "all inclusive."
