There would be many interesting things to do during your holiday to the nation of Sri Lanka, such as visiting the Dambulla Cave Temple, touring a tea factory and visiting the Negombo Fish Market.
Those interested in religious attractions and general sightseers alike would be enthralled by the splendid Dambulla Cave Temple. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this cave temple inherits a fascinating history, dating to the 1st century BC; the monarch Valagamba once sought refuge at this time during a time of strife. Visitors would be captivated by the interesting statues and eye-catching paintings to be seen here. As this attraction also attracts numerous local devotees you will also have the chance to observe them engaging in religious activities here as well.
Sri Lanka happens to be one of the world's leading producers of tea and visiting a functioning tea estate and factory would be one of the distinctive experiences you could enjoy during your visit. A great place at which to enjoy this experience would be the highland town of Nuwara Eliya. Here, you could wander through the lush tea gardens and tour a tea factory; you would be able to view the machinery used to process tea and listen to informative commentary provided by your guide. You may conclude your visit by tasting some of the tea produced at the factory. You could even stay at a former tea factory that's been converted into a hotel which offers a truly unique getaway!
Another interesting locality to visit during your stay in Sri Lanka would be the seaside town of Negombo, and one of its noteworthy attractions would be the captivating fish market. In fact, the Negombo Fish Market would offer your senses entrancing sights, sounds and aromas! Visiting this site would also be a great way to gain an authentic insight into the way of life of the fisher folk of Negombo. One of the Sri Lanka hotels to consider from which you could easily head to this attraction would be the Negombo property of Heritance Hotels & Resorts.
Should you visit the coastal town of Ahungalla, you would have the opportunity to visit the engrossing Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project. As you might expect, this establishment is dedicated to the conservation of the threatened sea turtles which nest in the nearby areas. One of the interesting features of this sanctuary would be its hatchery where the collected turtle eggs would be allowed to hatch. You may also have the chance to involve yourself in the release of young turtles into the ocean.
Sri Lanka happens to be renowned for its abundant wildlife and one of the best ways to experience it would be taking a safari at the popular Yala National Park. This nature sanctuary is particularly renowned for its population of leopards. That said, even if you don't happen to spot one of these elusive felines, you would still have a good chance of viewing other interesting kinds of wildlife; this includes elephants, buffaloes, crocodiles, monkeys, diverse bird species and much more.
