During a visit to Sri Lanka, there is a tendency to feel overwhelmed with what you can get up to. There are a plethora of destinations to visit in completely different landscapes along with vibrant city life. So, if you are wondering what to do, the key is to create an itinerary!
As an island that is renowned for the variety of stunning beaches it has to offer, you will easily be able to find multiple beaches to relax on. Whether you are in Colombo or Kalutara, a beach is unlikely to be far away.
For example, if you are looking for things to do In Kalutara then a good idea would be to check into an accommodation like the Turyaa Kalutara Hotel as ask them to assist with getting some activities organized for your stay. The best part about this is that the beaches offer so much variety, from simply doing water sports to spending time reclining under a tree with a beer in your hand.
The true diversity of experiences available to be enjoyed in Sri Lanka becomes apparent when you venture into the depths of the island. This is where many of the national parks on the island lie, and they are teeming with wildlife.
A remarkable phenomenon that is well known across the globe is the period from July to October, where 300 elephants can be seen gathering together as they travel in search of food and water.
A religious event that takes place between July and August is well known as the special parade that celebrates the Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic. Here, you will see a vast number of dancers, performers, and lights illuminate the roads as the procession travels through the city.
This part of the country is truly magnificent. As the coldest part of the island, the hill country offers people an unheard-of experience in many tropical islands. The Nuwara Eliya city is home to a small area where the buildings and environment are preserved exactly as they were during colonial occupation.
With a plethora of botanical gardens, horse races and carnivals, this is a part of the nation people flock to in the summer with the hopes of getting away from the heat and enjoying a much-needed getaway in the chilly hillside.
If you are visiting Sri Lanka, then one of the places you simply must visit is the Sigiriya Rock Fortress. As a UNESCO designated world heritage site, Sigiriya is a remarkable testament to the ingenuity of ancient Sri Lanka.
It is still befuddling to think about how people managed to build a castle atop a solitary rock and carve out a lion's façade to keep away enemies.
However, if you do visit, you will be able to enjoy the frescoes as well as the stunning landscapes that surround you.
