Reasons to visit Sri Lanka
See amazing wildlife
Sri Lanka is home to many incredible national parks, where visitors can watch elephants, birds and big cats. There’s also whale watching off the island’s coastlines.
Yala National Park has the highest concentration of leopards in the world – catch a glimpse of these incredible animals prowling the lush greenery of the coastline.
Flanked by verdant tea plantations, Udawalawe National Park provides the opportunity to spot elephants grazing in their natural habitat. There’s also the chance to take to the sea from Mirissa or Kalpitiya and see sperm whales and dolphins among the waves.
Visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
There are many ornate Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka – the most famous of which is the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, also known as Sri Dalada Maligawa.
Found in Kandy, Sri Lanka’s second largest city, this grandiose structure houses one of Buddha’s teeth and is among the most sacred sites in the country.
A 10-day festival featuring dancers, musicians and fire breathers is held in July or August each year as visitors flock to the city from across the world.
Unrivalled surfing
Sri Lanka is a haven for surfers, boasting sandy beaches, azure oceans and incredible waves.
You’ll find surfing for all abilities along Sri Lanka’s shores. Visit Hikkaduwa on the south-west or Weligama on the south coast, for waves that suit beginners and experienced surfers alike all-year-round.
Weather patterns alternate on the island. While the ocean at one side is lively enough for surfing, the other is calmer. On the south, the best surfing period is between November and May – on the east, between April and October.
