Did you know Sri Lanka has more than just beaches?

Hi Reader,

In our previous email we mentioned how much we love Sri Lanka, to the point that we try and visit annually.

This tiny island packs a serious punch and is the ideal destination for budget-savvy explorers.

So, what is all the fuss about?

Sit back and close your eyes for a moment. Imagine a place where you can spot wild elephants on a jungle safari in the morning, sip fresh king coconut water on a sun-kissed beach in the afternoon. Before heading out to hike a misty green mountain the following day.

Oh, and did we mention that this tiny island has eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites?

Yup, Sri Lanka is really a travel jackpot.

Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, a foodie, or just looking to escape the usual tourist trail without breaking the bank, then Sri Lanka has something waiting for you.

  • Culture and history – we have fallen in love with Sigiriya Rock, Pidurangala Rock, Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura. It’s like stepping into a real-life Indiana Jones movie
  • Wildlife – Love wildlife? Then one of Sri Lanka’s National Parks, will have you spotting leopards, elephants, birds and other animals.
  • Beaches – Need a bit of relaxation too, then imagine laying back on a sunbed with a coconut in hand, soaking up the sun.
  • Food – Sri Lanka’s food is like no other. Firey curries with rice, street food, exotic fruit that is mouthwatering and all an explosion of flavour, without the impact on your wallet. With meals costing less than $5. A hearty meal for a bargain.

But don’t just take our word for it.....

Some of our friends and family have visited Sri Lanka more than once. Which is tell you something.

So, where are the best places to visit in Sri Lanka?

We’ve put together our top picks of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka, from ancient ruins, temples, beaches, safaris and epic scenic train routes over misty tea plantations.
