Why Sri Lanka Is The Perfect Travel Destination

Sri Lanka is known for its natural sights and historical wonders. The mesmerizing beauty of this country has always attracted travelers from across the world. Sandy beaches, coral reefs, tropical forests, ancient ruins and famous temples fill the map. And with its geographic location in the tropics and along millennia-old trade routes, Sri Lanka's cuisine is a mixture of local and foreign flavors that are an absolute culinary treat. But, for many people, Sri Lanka still remains a mystery, with all of its beauty hidden in plain sight.

A Natural Paradise Sri Lanka’s natural riches range from endless, powder-white beaches, 250 meter tall waterfalls, terraced tea plantations that stripe rolling hills and tropical rainforests alive with endemic species. Serious hikers can tromp through Knuckles Mountain Range, surfers can take on the waves at Arugam Bay and the more relaxed visitors can lay back just about anywhere in this tropical paradise to catch rays or z's. The weather in nearly every part of the island, save for a few mountainous areas, is beach-friendly year-round.

Sanctuaries and national parks For decades, Sri Lanka has consistently worked to preserve land for the island's endemic species, like leopards, elephants, crocodiles, sambar deer and hundreds of different birds. In total, a little more than a quarter of the landmass is protected as a park, sanctuary or strict nature reserve.

Located in the southeast of the country, Yala National park is the most popular park on the island. Here, tourists get a chance to take a safari out into wild elephant territory, where the herds roam freely. Rivalling Yala is the Wilpattu, the largest one of the oldest national parks in Sri Lanka. Though the park was closed due to the civil conflict, it has since reopened to the public and continues to grow its visitorship yearly. Wilpattu is famous for the shallow willus (lakes) that fill up in the rainy season and attract a huge range of biodiversity that inhabit the 1,300 km2 reserve.

Sandy beaches

Sri Lanka has hundreds of kilometers of stunning beaches where travelers can explore the coral reef, surf, fish or simply enjoy the ocean breeze with a walk along the beach. And every beach offers a cultural experience that is totally its own. Many of the beaches are connected to towns that have been in existence since at least European occupation, and often hundreds of years further back. Walk along the fort at Galle, look down at the crashing waves from Swami rock in Trincomalee or explore the coral reef off of Nilaveli. And areas like Hikkaduwa and Arugam Bay have developed into destinations for international surfers looking for excellent waves. Or if you're looking for something slow before you head home Negombo, where the main international airport is located is home to a relaxed, albeit somewhat hippy, vibe. No matter the experience you're looking for on Sri Lanka's shoreline, you're pretty much bound to be able to find it.

Ayurveda treatment Ayurveda is the traditional medication and healing therapy of Sri Lanka. It’s been practiced for thousands of years since it was brought to the island from India. It focuses on cleansing and rejuvenating the body through detoxification, relaxation, massage, diet and yoga. With thousands of practicing ayurveda professionals, it's easy to find a location anywhere in Sri Lanka to relax their body and soul with Ayurveda herbal bath, body massage, foot massage, Ayurvedic head oil application and nasal treatment.

Old Forts People who’re looking to roam around and enjoy a peaceful day out, the coastal city forts offer a taste of history without trekking far into the country's interior. Visitors can learn about the history while enjoying the ocean air and maybe even an ice cream cone. Some of the most visited forts from Sri Lanka include the Dutch Galle Fort and Fort Frederick in Trincomalee or Jaffna Fort in the country's far north.
