Sri Lanka is a tropical paradise bursting with natural beauty, rich culture, and unique attractions. From the golden beaches and crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean to the ancient ruins and temples scattered throughout the country, there is no shortage of things to see and do. If you're planning a visit anytime soon, here are some things to keep in mind.
Although there are many ways to travel across this paradise island, it can take time. The roads aren't always smooth, and the traffic can be a hassle. The island has several provinces spread across the mountains and plains, and some routes can be harsh. If you're planning your Sri Lanka holidays, best to consult a travel planner such as NKAR Travel House.
Sri Lanka is a travel-friendly island with great hospitality. Not only it is safe to travel around the island, but you will also be assisted by the locals wherever you go. Although it is safe to assume you will not encounter much trouble, keep your belongings safe with you, and do not carry too much cash. Do not try to engage with strangers or suspicious people.
Travelling to Sri Lanka will not put a dent in your pocket. True, there are some luxurious hotels and resorts you can choose from, but if you want to do some budget travel, Sri Lanka is the place to be. From boutique hotels and serene villas to pocket-friendly restaurants and food stalls, you will find a range of good deals to save up and enjoy more.
You can experience both hot and cold weather in Sri Lanka. The coastal areas tend to be warm and summer-like, with two monsoons slightly changing the weather and the waves. Up on the mountains in cities such as Kandy, Hatton, Nuwara Eliya, and Matale, you can experience more colder weather. You can expect sudden rains as the weather here is unpredictable, so be mindful when you pack your clothes to expect the unexpected.
Sri Lanka gives you endless possibilities of places to explore during your visit. From historical monuments to natural spoils and manmade wonders, you will find yourself enticed by the beauty of this small island. The pristine beaches give the most refreshing experience while the misty mountains can be soothing and comforting. You will make many unforgettable memories during your stay.
Sri Lankan cuisine is one of the best parts of visiting. The flavoursome dishes packing local spices and aroma can be a warm hug to your belly and tantalise your tastebuds like never before. There are many local dishes and delicacies you must try, including milk rice, hoppers, kottu, rice and curries, and traditional sweets. Don't forget to try the delicious street foods and cute coffee shops around you as well.
