The Flagrock Bastion

The Flagrock Bastion

The Flagrock Bastion-The Galle Fort cliff-jumpers from Aerial View Galle, Southern Province, Sri Lanka The Galle Fort cliff-jumpers Galle Fort jumping of the ancient citadel walls started in the early 2009 and it is considered an equivalent to the bungee jump, only a lot more dangerous. The jumpers don’t even use an elasticised rope to pull you back from the near death experience, and do not have a clear landing point. This hair-raising jump takes place on the Fort ramparts at the top of the wall known as Flag Rock between Point Utrecht Bastion and Triton Bastion. For those who like to dice with mortality and experience fort life on-the-edge, nothing beats watching these lads, or the ‘jumpers’, as they like to call themselves, spring into action; Chamara, Lasantha, Chinthaka, Rawan, and Ranga.
