Top 7 things to do on your holiday in Sri Lanka for a memorable vacation

 In the Indian Ocean, off India's southeast coast, lies the island country of Sri Lanka. There are almost as many people living in Sri Lanka's 20 million residents, despite its small size (it's slightly larger than West Virginia). The island's economy is centred on agriculture, mining, fishing, manufacturing, and tourism, as well as the extraction of natural resources. Sri Lanka is a popular tourist destination because of its stunning beaches, historical Buddhist sites, and diverse fauna. Srilanka has no shortage of exciting activities. The highlands have a more temperate climate than the lowlands throughout most of the year. This post includes some of the top activities to do in Sri Lanka.

Sigiya Rocks - This rock-top fortification, one of Sri Lanka's seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, dates back to the 5th century. The ambiance is more contemplative than combative, as it has served as both a royal palace and a Buddhist monastery at various points in its history.   Sigiriya women, some of the best specimens of South-Asian apsara art, may be seen as tourists descend the old rock. It was formerly believed that the space covered by these sensual works of art measured 150 metres long by 40 metres high.  One of the world's most important urban planning initiatives of the first century, Sigiriya is also home to some of the world's oldest planted gardens. Furthermore, keep an eye out for the king's mirror wall, an extremely polished brick wall that allowed him to view his own image. Avoid the heat and the throng by going early in the morning.  Make sure you include this excursion in your trip to Srilanka

While in Sri Lanka, you'll see elephants just about everywhere: on tea plantations, in national parks, and leading the Esala Perahera parade in Kandy, all decked out in their finest jewellery and glitter.  To witness wild elephants, head to Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka. Around 400 pachyderms call this park home, which includes vast tracts of grassland, scrub jungle, and riverine forest, all of which were established to safeguard the reservoir's watershed. One of Sri Lanka's top birding destinations may also be found in this area, according to a recent survey. One of the few national parks in the country that attracts less visits is Gal Oya National Park. You may go on a boat safari to view elephants swimming over Senanayake Samudra lake, Sri Lanka's biggest body of water.  One of the most enticing adventures in Srilanka

Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital city, combines the country's rich indigenous and colonial history with modern urban facilities. Europe's trading powers have long valued Sri Lanka as a critical stop on the world's spice routes. When you consider that the country has been a colony of three different European countries (Portugal; Holland; and the United Kingdom), the result is a wonderful blend of various cultures. You can see and taste these influences in the architecture and the arts, and you can feel them in the city of Colombo. Visitors will enjoy exploring the city's newest mega-tower, the Colombo Lotus Tower. Amazing views of the city may be enjoyed from the tallest free-standing tower in Southeast Asia.

Kandy is the place to go if you want to get a sense of Sri Lanka's past. The city is located in central Sri Lanka and was the capital of the Sri Lankan royal dynasty before the colonial era, making it the country's primary capital. To learn more about the region and its inhabitants, stop into the National Museum of Kandy while you're in town. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a Buddhist shrine that is part of the royal palace complex, is just a short distance away. The city's central lake, Kandy, provides a cool haven from the summer heat. The lake is surrounded by walking trails, lined with temples and shrines, that can be explored.

Udawalawe National Park : The Hambantota resort area is about an hour's drive from this enormous wildlife park in the country's south. Elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, and other animals inhabit the park in considerable numbers. Leopards can be seen there as well, but they are notoriously difficult to locate. A great variety of tiny mammals, including monkeys, can also be found. You can also go bird watching here. There are a few tiny inns and guesthouses around Udawalawe as well as within the park itself. On the other hand, you can also visit for a day excursion, however it's ideal to visit during dawn or dusk.

 Galle : Colombo and Galle are connected by one of Sri Lanka's first modern superhighways, which takes around two hours to complete. There is a massive seaside fort from the 17th century at the centre of this ancient trading harbour, which symbolises its colonial heritage. As a restored walled town, Galle Fort currently houses a variety of boutique hotels, stores, and dining establishments (along with real residents). It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You may explore the entire Fort area on foot, as there are no roads in the region. You can't get lost because the sea is on three sides of you. Beaches surround the city, both inside and outside the fort. The beach, like many others in the country, is long and sandy and ends in turquoise waters.

Sri Lanka, a South Asian island nation, has a bewildering array of things to see and do for tourists. In Colombo you can visit tourist attractions like the new Lotus Tower, or you can visit Minneriya National Park and observe elephants living their best lives in the wild. As if that weren't enough, the region also boasts some of the most stunning natural settings, including everything from tropical beaches to snow-capped mountains to lush jungles. The combination of a rich cultural heritage, fascinating foreign colonial history, welcoming locals, and stunning beaches makes this one of the world's best holiday spots
