Sri Lanka has long been considered a very popular destination among families that visit as there is so much to do and see in the country and its very easy to travel from place to place with little children in tow. Here are 4 of the most fun things you could do as a family in Sri Lanka.
1. Galle Fort
Explore the best-preserved colonial fort in the country where the many cultures that make up Sri Lankans live in a perfect, self-contained utopia. The fort is the best place to check out colonial architecture and have a gelato under the shadow of a lighthouse.
2. Yala National Park
The largest wildlife reserve in Sri Lanka, Yala is famous for being the one location with the highest density of the Sri Lankan leopard in the world. A safari through the park will take you into the vicinity of sloth bears, jackals, peacocks, jungle fowl, water buffalo, deer and of course, the majestic elephant.
3. Tea Trails
Take a train up to the highlands and get lost among the rolling green fields of the tea estates. You can visit a factory and learn about where your most favourite cup of tea comes from.
4. Colombo Like a Local
Pick a city hotel in Colombo as your base and explore the capital city like a local. If, for example you are staying at Mandarina Colombo Hotel, you’ll find that all the places you want to explore like the Beira Lake, Independence Square, Galle Face Green or tour the Fort in a tuk-tuk, are no more than a couple of minutes away.
