Wildlife, Buddhist temples, jungles, ancient ruins, and stunning beaches are just some of the things that made Sri Lanka such a popular place among visitors from all over the world.
With so many interesting and different things to do, planning a trip to this country might prove to be quite a challenging experience.
But we are here to give you a helping hand and we carefully prepared for you this guide with everything you need to see when visit Sri Lanka.
We visited this amazing country many times so we can tell you what to see in Sri Lanka and where exactly each of these attractions is located.
We prepared for you a list of the things to see and do in Sri Lanka and grouped them into 9 areas, based on their location and type of attraction: historical and cultural heritage, national parks, beaches, and tea plantations.
Also known as The Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the country is full of historical sites, religious monuments, and rich biodiversity.
As I said earlier, we split the country into 9 main areas, and for each of these areas, we highlighted the main attractions and provide you with the best places to stay.
This Attractions of Sri Lanka guide gives you not just a hint about the best destinations Sri Lanka has but also all the useful information so that you can create your own personalized itinerary based on your interests and holiday length.
Although a small island country, Sri Lanka is packed with wildlife, remote and beautiful beaches, highlands full of tea plantations, Buddhist monasteries, and a lot of historical and cultural sites.
Unlike other guides that you can find on the market which tell you information about what to see in a certain area or give you daily itineraries, we give you the options and let you design your own trip.
Our advice is to combine attractions from all the 9 areas and all the captions mentioned above ( highlands, wildlife, historical, cultural, and religious sites) and to end your trip with a few days on the beach.
You will get in touch with local culture, nature, and with Sri Lankan people who are among the most welcoming and warm people, I have ever seen.
We have also selected for you some very special accommodations, some of them secluded and hidden in the middle of the jungle, while others within a few minutes walk from the beach or the main points of interest.
For the main cities from Sri Lanka, we highlighted the main attractions so that you can better plan your time needed for each of these places to see.
We also encourage you to try the local food and drinks, to get in contact with local people and with their culture and traditions.
You definitely need a few weeks to see all the attractions in Sri Lanka and to enjoy the beauty of this country, but a 10 days tour is doable as long as you pick the places of interest that you are most fascinated with.
