Sri Lanka – Pearl of the Indian Ocean

Sri Lanka, the Indian Ocean’s jewel, has mesmerizing beaches and lush forests, making it an ideal vacation spot. For single travelers, cultural seekers, families, and wildlife enthusiasts, Sri Lanka is the most desired destination. Sri Lanka is a tiny island nation in the Indian Ocean. Yet, the country is home to golden sand beaches with swaying coconut palms, mountains, and tea plantations, as well as an ancient civilization. The country is extremely clean and safe, making travel particularly easy for solo travelers. Although Sri Lanka is a small country, there is enough to do here. If you enjoy the beach, the west and east coasts are both worth visiting. If you enjoy mountains, trekking, and visiting historical sites, then Kandy, in Sri Lanka’s central region, is the destination for you.

Bentota is a popular tourist destination on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast, with several high-end hotels. It is a popular watersports destination. The main beach in Bentota offers a variety of water sports such as surfing (you can even learn to surf) and snorkeling (you can see amazing turtles, corals, and a variety of different fish when snorkeling). Induruwa beach has a turtle hatchery. Its long Bentota Beach stretches north, parallel to Bentota Lagoon, becoming a sandy sliver known as Paradise Island. Canoe Rock is a coral-rich dive location. The centuries-old Galapota Temple on the Bentota River includes a big Buddha statue.
Colombo is a fascinating city with numerous ethnicities, religions, and civilizations and a city with a rich colonial legacy. The gorgeous Beira Lake is at the heart of Colombo, characterized by a system of canals. With a fast-changing skyline, it is truly a one-of-a-kind city of “old and modern” that is quickly becoming a beautiful tourist destination in the region. The Colombo City Tour is Sri Lanka’s first-ever open deck city sightseeing service, offering views of the city in the big red open-top double-decker buses and live commentary professional guides. You can ride at any time and view Colombo in a way you’ve never seen before!
Kandy is a sacred city because of the importance and spiritual significance of the Temple of the Tooth Relic (a precious tooth of the Buddha), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, locally known as the ‘Sri Dalada Maligawa’. It is Sri Lanka’s most venerated landmark. The shrine, which is next to the old Kingdom of Kandy’s royal palace complex, overlooks the enormous expanse of Kandy Lake.

Pinnawala is a village in Sri Lanka that is well known for its elephant. Pinnawala boasts the world’s largest captive elephant herd. The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage (PEO), as its name suggests, has a distinct approach to ex-situ animal care. Its renown and success have spread not only within the country but also around the world, making Pinnawala synonymous with the Sri Lankan Elephant. The other beautiful tourist attraction of Sri Lanka include Victoria Park, Lake Gregory, and the Madu Ganga boat safari.
Sri Lankan food is full of flavor, spice, and texture. Being an island with a tropical environment, coconuts, fresh seafood, veggies, and spices are the essential components of Sri Lankan cuisine. Fish is cooked into curries, BBQs, or even dried out, and coconut is used in almost everything from bread to salads, sauces, and curries. Rice and curry are the main in Sri Lankan cuisine, and the plates are always arranged with a variety of vegetables and rice.

If you’re on a budget, Sri Lanka can be a good option to travel. From December to March is the best season to explore the west and south coasts, as well as the hill area, while April to September is the best time to visit the east coast. Traveling in Sri Lanka is most commonly accomplished by hiring a car, taking a taxi/tuk-tuk, or taking public transportation such as trains and buses.
