Famous for
People travel to Sri Lanka for all sorts of reasons. Here are three of the most popular!
Stunning scenery
Sri Lanka is home to some of the world’s most incredible scenery. Whether you’re riding the train to hilly Nuwara Eliya, exploring verdant tea plantations or admiring the lush green views from the top of the incredible Sigiriya fortress, there are picture perfect postcard views around every turn.
Blissful beaches
As an island, Sri Lanka is blessed with many great beaches. Mirissa is probably the best place for a beach break, with the waters off these golden beaches also great for whale watching. Trincomalee, Galle, and Negombo are also great options for your beach break in Sri Lanka.
The Big Four
Sri Lanka is probably the best place in the world for a safari outside of Africa. Travellers to Udawalawe, Yala or Wilpattu can search for three of the country’s ‘Big 4’ – elephant, leopard and sloth bear. And at the coast, the fourth member of the group, the Blue Whale is hard to miss!
