Sri Lanka- the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, within its modest size, has a large variety of places to visit and explore, especially if you are a first-time visitor to this beautiful island. This guide is about planning your itinerary before you get into this land.
The down south
Galle in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka is ideal for a 1-2-day visit during your tour to Sri Lanka. This city is famous for its Dutch and Portuguese influence from the 18th century. There are the Dutch Fort and some museums you can explore.
Batticaloa
Batticaloa is generally a warm area and is mostly popular for the Pasikuda beach. You don’t really need to worry about the accommodation facilities because hotels in Passikudah which are so loved by tourists including the Amethyst Resort Pasikudah are there to help you get the comfort that you seek for.
Kandy- in the Central Province
Surrounded by mountain ranges, Kandy is certainly a must-visit destination if you travel to Sri Lanka for the first time. It’s the home to the Temple of Tooth Relic where the sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha is placed with due respect.
Colombo and the west coast
Right after you land in Sri Lanka, Colombo will be the city that you meet first, and of course, the busiest and the brashest city in the country is here. You find the best of hotels and other attractions the likes of Lotus Tower and so on here, which are situated considerably close to each other.
