Capture the timeless art of stilt fishing in Sri Lanka!

Stilt fishing is a traditional method of fishing used by local fishermen in Sri Lanka, particularly on the southern shore. Fishermen perch themselves on cross-shaped beams and wait for their catch of the day with perfect balance and overwhelming patience.

According to records, it came into being shortly after World War II. This kind of fishing was more common along the shore before the 2004 tsunami, which temporarily halted such activity until recent years. The picturesque image of fisherman sitting on branched poles as they carefully fish at dawn, noon, and evening is now frequent throughout the southern shore in towns like Koggala, Kaththaluwa, and Ahangama. Occasional stilt fishermen can also be seen amongst the waters of Madu River, etc.

Wanna surf? We've got another Surf Destination!

Arugam Bay is a popular tourist destination located on the southeast coast of Sri Lanka. It is renowned for its beautiful beaches, excellent surf breaks, and laid-back atmosphere.

The ideal time to visit Arugam Bay is during the summer season, from April to September, when the weather is warm and dry, and the surf conditions are excellent. However, if you're not into surfing, you can also visit during the winter season (October to March) when the weather is still pleasant. Arugam Bay is known for its pristine beaches. The main beach in the town offers a wide stretch of golden sand and is great for relaxing, sunbathing, and swimming.

Within a short distance from Arugam Bay, you can explore cultural and historical sites. The ancient city of Muhudu Maha Viharaya is located near Pottuvil and features ancient Buddhist ruins and a beachfront temple. The famous Hindu temple, Kudumbigala Monastery, is also a short drive away.

Have a Blessed Poson Full Moon Day!

Poson Full Moon Day is a significant religious observance in Sri Lanka, commemorating the introduction of Buddhism to the island nation. Celebrated on the full moon day of the Poson month (June), it holds immense cultural and spiritual importance for Buddhists across the country. This auspicious day marks the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka in the 3rd century BC, when Arahat Mahinda, the son of Emperor Ashoka of India, preached the teachings of Lord Buddha to King Devanampiya Tissa. Devotees engage in various religious activities, including visiting temples, offering alms to monks, and engaging in acts of merit. It is a time of reflection, devotion, and celebration, as Sri Lankans come together to honor their Buddhist heritage and deepen their spiritual connections.

Each day is a fresh start! You can start over, no matter how bad the past was. Happy Wesak Day!

Vesak, also known as Buddha Jayanti, Buddha Purnima, and Buddha Day, is a holiday observed by Buddhists and some Hindus. It commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Siddhartha Gautama, who is commonly known as Buddha. All these important events are said to have happened on the same day throughout his life. The holiday is usually observed during the first full moon in May according to the lunar calendar. However, due to the diversity of the Buddhist culture, Vesak is celebrated on different dates by different traditions.

Have you ever witnessed the Largest Asian Elephant gathering? Minneriya is the place!

Minneriya National Park, located in the middle of Sri Lanka's famed cultural triangle, is well known for its amazing elephant migration, which is one of Asia's best wildlife experiences. During the dry months of June to September, up to 300 elephants gather in the Minneriya National Park around the old Minneriya water tank (which dates back to the 3rd century AD), taking advantage of the receding waters that serve as an essential water source. This is only place where you can see this much of Asian Elephant heard (Elephas Maximus Maximus) in one location.

This gathering is listed by Lonely Planet as among the Top Ten wildlife spectacles in the world and we recommend you encounter with this amazing live experience during your family adventure of wildlife holidays in Sri Lanka.

Ever wanna wander around ruins of the ancient kingdom Anuradhapura?

The 'Garden of Dagobas' is how people affectionately refer to Anuradhapura. This historic city, which is situated in the center of the Cultural Triangle, was identified as Sri Lanka's first monarchy in the fourth century B.C. Buddhism became the official religion of the nation during the height of this monarchy, as evidenced by the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhiya's dominant edifice and numerous temples and ruins scattered throughout the old town. Instead than cycling around the ancient kingdom, stroll along the remains of the past.
