The night is when the Fort becomes calm and lit up. Walk the cobble stone roads that glitter under the moon light while having conversations about the Colonial era. You’re lucky if you bump into a ghost, listening to black comedy wielded by a storyteller. Torches for light sabers and you’re guaranteed to feel like a Jedi time traveling through the 17th Century. Ask yourself, are you afraid of the Dark?

This walks end with homemade ice cream or a beer at a layman’s bar which tells an interesting colonial story.

Walks starts at 7.00pm
All Interactive tours start at the Sudarmalaya Buddhist Monastery inside the Fort.
