Sri Lanka is as diverse as its population and visitors have a chance to experience beach getaways, mountain hideaways, exotic wildlife and more. Here are some of the best places to visit.
Kandy
The hill country capital of Sri Lanka, Kandy offers a wholly different experience from that of the coastline. Located amidst ancient mountains, this historic city is surrounded by some breathtaking natural panoramas and a decidedly cooler climate.
Negombo
Known as “Little Rome” due to its many Roman Catholic churches that date back to the Portuguese colonial period, Negombo also features the Dutch Canal where one can take a leisurely cruise and enjoy a different perspective of the city. As a rule of thumb always attempt to secure accommodation at Sri Lanka beach resorts the likes of The Blue Water Hotel and Spa prior to arrival.
The Cultural Triangle
Rather than one destination, the Cultural Triangle in Sri Lanka actually encompasses several cities each home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In Dambulla, one will find the historic Rock Cave Temple, while a trip to Sigiriya will give you the chance to make your way to the summit of the famed Sigiriya Rock Fortress. You also can explore the once ancient kingdoms of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, each featuring stunning archaeological sites where one can see remnants of these great cities of the past.
