Ahangama er en lille kystby, der ligger i den sydlige provins i Sri Lanka. Byen er kendt for sine smukke strande, sin livlige surfkultur og traditionelle stangfiskeri, som er en unik og ikonisk fiskemetode, der praktiseres af de lokale fiskere.
Surfing i Ahangama
Ahangama er især populær blandt surfere, både begyndere og eksperter. Byen har flere surfsteder, der passer til forskellige færdigheder. Surfingsæsonen i Ahangama løber typisk fra november til april, hvor bølgerne er stabile, og vejret er ideelt til surfing.
Stangfiskeri
Stangfiskeri er et af de mest maleriske syn i Ahangama. Fiskerne sidder på tværstænger fastgjort til lodrette pæle, der er plantet i havbunden, og kaster deres liner ud i vandet. Denne traditionelle metode er ikke kun en levevej, men er også blevet en populær turistattraktion.
Strande
Strandene i Ahangama er mindre overfyldte sammenlignet med andre populære destinationer som Unawatuna eller Mirissa. Dette gør det til et perfekt sted for dem, der søger at slappe af og nyde den rolige skønhed på Sri Lankas sydkyst.
Indkvartering og turisme
De senere år har Ahangama set en stigning i boutiquehoteller, gæstehuse og surflejre, hvilket gør det til en voksende destination for rejsende, der søger en blanding af eventyr og afslapning. Byen er også tæt på andre attraktioner som den historiske by Galle og den berømte Mirissa Strand.
Galle is a city situated on the southwestern tip of Sri Lanka, 119 km from Colombo. Galle is the best example of a fortified city built by Europeans in south and Southeast Asia, showing the interaction between European architectural styles and south Asian traditions. The Galle fort is a world heritage site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers.

Galle is a sizeable town, by Sri Lankan standards, and has a population of 91,000, the majority of whom are of Sinhalese ethnicity. There is also a large Sri Lankan Moor minority, particularly in the fort area, which descend from Arab merchants that settled in the ancient port of Galle.
About Southern Province
The Southern Province of Sri Lanka is a small geographic area consisting of the districts of Galle, Matara and Hambantota. Subsistence farming and fishing is the main source of income for the vast majority of the people of this region.
Important landmarks of the Southern Province include the wildlife sanctuaries of the Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, the holy city of Kataragama, and the ancient cities of Tissamaharama, Kirinda and Galle. (Although Galle is an ancient city, almost nothing survives from before the Portuguese invasion.) During the Portuguese period there were two famous Sinhalese poets called Andare who was from Dickwella and Gajaman Nona who was from Denipitiya in Matara District, composing poems on common man.
