Sri Lanka is a tropical island on the Indian ocean with beautiful sandy shores surrounded by waters with rich marine life. Coming inland, there are many wonders of nature and several remnants of history that are worth exploring.
Sigiriya
This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is famed for the lion rock. It is a massive rock formation that was shaped and sculpted with a lion entrance. On top of the rock was the palace of a King of Sri Lanka.
World’s End
This is located in the hill country of Sri Lanka in a place called Nuwara Eliya. Horton Plains is the main attraction here especially for those who love to hike. You will hike up to the precipice that has a steep fall, that is quite scary, thus the name.
Yala National Park
If you are a wildlife enthusiast, one of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka would be the Yala National Park located in the south east part of the island. Get the opportunity to observe the rare Sri Lankan leopard on your safari.
Bahiravokanda Vihara Buddha Statue
In the once royal city of Kandy, high in the mountains, overlooking its people is a massive Buddha statue painted stark white. The climb there is an absolute treat and you could explore the temple as well. For more places to visit check out websites like Truly Sri Lanka.
