Sri Lanka, the teardrop shaped island in the Indian Ocean has something for everyone. These are just some of the must do experiences to add to your bucket list.
1) Sigiriya Rock Fortress
We climbed the 1200 steps from the lions paw to the top to reach the ancient royal palace. I recommend starting the climb around dawn to see the sunrise and to avoid the heat of the day.
2) Witness wild elephants in their natural habitat at Minneriya National Park. We saw many elephant families with babies when we visited last April.
3) Regarded as one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, the ride to Nuwara Eliya winds through rolling hills and tea plantations. Dubbed "little England" for it's colonial charm, Nuwara Eliya offers cooler temperatures, lush gardens and serene tea estates.
4) Explore the Cave Temples of Dambulla. This UNESCO listed site is adorned with over 150 stunning Buddha statues and intricate cave paintings.
5) Sri Lanka has coastlines that cater for every type of traveller, whether it's the golden sands of Unawatuna, the surfer's paradise of Arugam Bay or the tranquil shores of Tangalle, you're bound to find your perfect seaside escape.
Sri Lanka is a destination that offers natural beauty, culture and adventure.
