Sri Lanka Vacation

Obscured by the Goliath that is India, Sri Lanka is something of a hidden gem in Asia. All the better for anyone on Sri Lanka tours, since it means the plethora of lush beaches are left virtually untouched and the unique style of life relatively untainted by droves of tourists.

 

Within its borders Sri Lanka packs in 8 UNESCO Heritage sites, a fascinating culture and some of the best food you’ll ever try. Do not miss out.

Sri Lanka Tours

Obscured by the Goliath that is India, Sri Lanka is something of a hidden gem in Asia. All the better for anyone on Sri Lanka tours, since it means the plethora of lush beaches are left virtually untouched and the unique style of life relatively untainted by troves of tourists.

Sri Lanka tours offer an abundance of things to do thanks to the country's size and diversity. Within a few weeks you can travel the majority of the country, enjoying everything from verdant tea farms to beach side cocktails to meditative Buddhist temples.

Best time of the year to visit Sri Lanka?

Owing to its tropical location, Sri Lanka has distinct wet and dry seasons (as well as a mini monsoon season in each). From May to August the southwest of the island can be battered by monsoons (the rest of the year is mostly dry). In the northeast it's much drier, but between October and November you could encounter monsoon weather.

Food and Culture of Sri Lanka

Perhaps the most overwhelming thing about Sri Lanka is the Buddhist culture of the Sinhalese regions. The teachings of the Buddha inhabit almost every home, while elaborate temples can be found in abundance throughout the country. Buddhism is truly infused within the Sinhalese culture and a visit to any one of the Buddhist temples is highly recommended.

Sri Lankan food may, like the country, live underneath India's looming shadow but that's certainly not owing to a lack of quality. Blending spices, curries, coconut-infused recipes and rice, Sri Lankan food may sound like what you'd find in nearby countries but the taste is truly unique.

Main Attractions and Tourist Regions in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's size means it's fairly easy to visit everything you'd like to see in one tour, and there's no real reason to divide the country into regions. There is, however, an well-trodden path around the country known as the Cultural Triangle.

Cultural Triangle tours feature many of the country's most popular tourist spots. Kandy is central to this region, and is supposedly home to the Buddha's tooth. This leads droves of loyal followers of his teachings to the city and makes it a great jumping off point.

Nearby you can enjoy the epic ruined city of Anuradhapura, a vast medieval Asian city that was once the capital of the island. Walking through the city it's easy to imagine the civilization that once roamed the dusty paths. The energy of the place - as with many of Sri Lanka's most remarkable destinations - is one that will stay with you. The solemn, reflective attitude of the Buddhist monks that once studied in this great city seems to permeate in the air.

Nearby Polonnaruwa is smaller but equally breathtaking, and no-one traveling to Sri Lanka should miss the opportunity to climb Sigiriya - a huge rock that houses ancient markings, elaborate carvings and a huge stone entrance carved into the shape of a lion. It's something out of a Indiana Jones movie.

From here it's easy to travel to Dambulla and Mihintale, which are both worth a visit to understand more about the island's history.

Tours in Sri Lanka will undoubtedly begin and end in Colombo, the nation's vibrant, chaotic capital. On the coastlines of the city you'll find inexpensive, luxurious hotels to relax in, while the streets are lined with restaurants serving up some of Sri Lanka's remarkable dishes.

Sri Lanka Reviews

David S., July 2018

Roshara and I kept in regular contact. We negotiated the itinerary and came up with an extensive coverage of Sri Lanka. Everything she promised, she supplied.

Sari Ikonen, June 2018

We have just came back to Finland from 14 days round trip in Sri Lanka. Roshara was helping us and making sure that we found a trip which fitted us the best. She answered to all my questions and requirements and she was willing to reshape the travel plan many times. It was easy to keep in touch with her via what's up. I want to recommend also our driver/quide Chankida!! He really made our trip! So warm and friendly person. He kept so good care of us. We felt safe. Always on time. Always positive. Always thinking of our needs and wants first. He was flexible with timetable. Lunch places where nice and clean.
I highly recommend to travel with this company to Sri Lanka. Beautiful green landscape, good food, friendly people.
It was just great!
Thank you so much Roshara and Chandika!

Fastest to respond to my enquiry. Personalised our tour to meet all our requirements and needs. Very happy we went with Roshara. Our guide and driver Mr Joy was courteous, informative and a pleasure to spend 10 days together. Thank you Roshara. Will happily recommend to all friends and family looking forward to returning to Sri Lanka.

Samadi was super helpful, kind and put together our perfect Sri Lanka tour! We had the best time on our holiday and would always recommend a trip with trip.me :)

Stephanie Richardson, February 2018

We had a truly memorable and very well organised trip and saw so many interesting things. Our guide, Adrian, was so good and we enjoyed his company as well as all the information he imparted as we travelled. The hotels were lovely - well done Roshara.
