Planning a trip to Sri Lanka and not sure where to begin? Here are 5 things that belong on every Sri Lanka itinerary.
01. Sigiriya Rock Fortress
A UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 5th century. It rises 200 meters above the jungle with ancient frescoes, royal water gardens, and views that go on forever.
02. Yala National Park Safari
Yala has one of the highest leopard densities in the world. A jeep safari here also brings you face to face with wild elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and incredible birdlife.
03. The Kandy to Ella Train
Widely considered one of the most scenic train routes in the world. The track winds through tea country, misty mountains, and crosses the famous Nine Arch Bridge in Ella.
04. Galle Fort
A beautifully preserved Dutch colonial fort dating back to the 16th century. Wander the cobblestone streets, stop at a rooftop cafe, and walk the ramparts at sunset.
05. Whale Watching in Mirissa
Between November and April, blue whales cruise through the waters just off the Mirissa coast. You can also spot s***m whales, dolphins, and orcas on the same trip.
Five places. One island. If you want to see all of them on one trip, get in touch and we will put it together for you.
