Hi all, just arrived in Sri Lanka for two weeks, have a few excursions planned - but would love to know from anyone who has been - some must dos so I don’t miss out!
Thanks! |

Hi,
Been to Sri Lanka many times, absolutely amazing place.
Favourite beach on South west coast is Hiriketiya.
Train ride from Ella to Kandy is a must.
Adams Peak is worth the climb.
Great food in the Muslim hotel in Kandy.

Dambulla- Sigiriya Rock, (with the palace ruins on top, if I remember correctly) and Temple Caves.
Try and ge to an elephant sanctuary, but chances are you’ll see enough elephants crossing the roads on your journeys. |

We have booked to go here in September, staying at the Water Gardens in Sigiriya where you can see Lion Rock from the grounds; really looking forward to our trip and we have a couple of other excursions already booked for while we are there. |

Not long got back.
Tended to avoid the main tourist haunts, hung out with locals, got lucky seeing turtles hatching and helping them out to sea and had myself a Shirley Valentine moment. Best trip ever  |

We are also off to visit the country for a couple of weeks, today in fact, after only booking the flights on Sunday!
We've not had much time to do the research yet so if anyone has any advice we are definitely all open and appreciative. We have a train from Kandy to Ella booked and thats it! |

"We did the bid up on Sri Lanka airways. Worth every penny. £500 sounds about right, one of the best business class we have flown on!"
Many thanks for that, very much looking forward to our trip in September |

"In Sri Lanka last few days, and everything is getting back to normal.
Great tropical island."
Watching news with interest, our trip is all booked and paid for, for Sept and was really looking forward to visiting this beautiful country, now wondering if we should skip this leg if our holiday and go straight to the Maldives, but would probably need to book that now.
Really feel for this country and the fact it has just started to get back on its feet after years of unrest and I am hoping that things settle back to been as safe as anywhere else in the world and all travel restrictions are lifted. |
