Who We Are

The Kotte Green Tourism Network

The Kotte Green Tourism Network (KGTN) is a community-driven initiative dedicated to celebrating Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte — the world's first Wetland Capital and one of Sri Lanka's most historic cities.

We bring together history, culture, biodiversity, and community spirit to create meaningful eco-cultural tourism experiences that honor the Kingdom of Kotte's past while shaping a sustainable future.
