![Beira lake is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. It has been one of the top tourist destinations in the commercial capital, Colombo as Gangarama Temple is located just next to Beira lake.

Other than the religious background, it's a great place to capture some water birds as well.  ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/869/6340bfbc-8d64-4424-9cd6-7f94e4cc1967.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
