Full of story in the Bawa's house If you are interested in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and rain forest plants, these 2 places are worth to see. Bawa brothers, both of them have stories in their place, especially Lunuganga of Geoffrey Bawa. The tour guide is good to explain you about each part of the place. If you will be in Bentota, worth to spend your time here.
