Sri Dalada Maligawa has announced the commencement of Kandyans pride! The most colorful religious event happens in Sri Lanka!
The Esala maha Perahera.🐘
It is that time of the year where the kandyan streets get colorful lights, the smell of kopra goes to the every corner, jingle bells of the tuskers and mostly the only time period where the kandy city stays after 8 o’clock!
So are you ready to watch it grandly after several years just like in the old days?? Book your tickets for the best scenic locations today and get ready for the busy city Kandy in another 12 days.

Reasons to visit Sri Lanka by a foreigner’s view

11/03/2023

Forbes magazine has ranked Sri Lanka among the 'Top Wildlife Safaris Outside of Africa’ for 2023.

Included among India, the US, the Galápagos Islands, and Australia, as a top “next safari” option, the magazine highlights the unique wildlife experiences that Sri Lanka has to offer.

Celebrating the unique combination of the best land animals and the largest sea creatures, the magazine recognises Sri Lanka's dense leopard population calling it "arguably the best place to reliably see these magnificent cats, even more so than most of Africa."

"There are also Asian elephants, peacocks, water buffalo, monkeys, and sloth bears."

"Whale watching is hugely popular around the globe, from Cape Cod to the Dominican Republic, but Sri Lanka is one of the only places to easily see the world’s largest living creatures, blue whales," the description further reads.
