Sunset over Ahungalla beach, Sri Lanka, photos were taken from RIU Ahungalla, An all inclusive hotel.
Ahungalla is close to Bentota one of the oldest beach tourism destinations in Sri Lanka. Bentota offers watersporDe in the sea and also in the river.
Ahungalla and Bentota are famous for their laidback atmosphere compared to the vibe in Hikkaduwa and Unawatuna, 30 & 50 km from Ahungalla.
Day tours from RIU would be Turtle hatchery - Kosgoda, Madu River boat safari - Balapitiya, Traditional Masks & folk art museum - Ambalagoda, Moonstone mines - Kahawa, coral watching, snorkeling and swimming ( & Good night life during Season) - Hikkaduwa, Dutch fort - Galle, Handloom factory - Pinnadoowa ( Galle) , Unawatuna beach, Jungle beach Unwatuna, Handunugoda Tea factory and museum ( renowned and only white Tea producer) - Imduwa
Wow list would be endless & will cater to every taste and preferences. I will try to bring more in my next posts

Pero, ¿qué te hizo pensar que las fotos son del blog que has mencionado?
Soy el propietario de las fotos enviadas, fueron tomadas con mi Iphone en el lugar que he mencionado. Puedes ver el grupo en algunos de estos. Verifique las otras fotos a continuación.
Además de eso, mi línea de tiempo de google y geoetiqueta de fotos lo harían. Respondo por la autenticidad de estas fotos y más de miles de otras fotos que he destruido en google map.
Atentamente

Hi @Prasanna-Aryaprema happy to hear that you are from Sri Lanka. I’m also from Sri Lanka, are you a member of SLLG HO chats? You can meet lots of Sri Lankan local guides from this HO chats.
Do you know, LGC has a 1,000 photo upload limit on Connect for all Local Guides, except for moderators (Google Moderators and Connect Moderators). Local Guides team encourage Local Guides to share their best images on LGC. please read this post
I’m planning to host a meet-up in Colombo (March), if you are free you can join to that meet-up
No I did not know that there is a limit of 1k in Google maps,
My photo count stands at 1300 + as at yesterday, and it accepted the photos I upload without problem or notification.
I would to mind adding photos even it doesn’t add points as it’s my hobby and I like to share how places/ addresses look like with fellow Google map users. But I noted that points were added too
However, I noted some points were reduced ( 3000 points) recently. Maybe the system adjusts the points later on. Would like to know your advice./ clarification.
Yes I would love to join the meet up in Colombo. Keep me posted
