Sri Lanka, the fascinating
Indian Ocean holiday destination is all about breathtaking nature, rich culture
and history, brilliant wildlife, thrilling adventure, luscious seafood, and
much more. Ranked by Lonely Planet as the top destination to travel in 2019,
Sri Lanka offers a wide range of things to do, no matter what your holiday interests
are. The gorgeous country is not just a hit with couples, honeymooners and family
holiday makers, but is also a hot favourite among solo travellers. Here are
just three most popular things to do on any solo trip to Sri Lanka.
Relax at the Beaches
Sri Lanka is a beach lovers' paradise. Its endless
coastline is punctuated with sun kissed, white sand and tranquil beaches. Bentota,
Arugam Bay, Hiriketiya, Mirissa, and Uppuveli are just some of the spectacular
beaches in the country that any beach bum can ill afford to miss.
Visit the World Heritage Sites
Sri Lanka is
home to 8 stunning UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which is a lot given the small size
of the country. Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Kandy, Old Town of Galle, and Dambulla
Cave Temple are most popular of all these sites. A climb up the famous Sigiriya
Rock appears on the bucket list of most solo travellers visiting Sri Lanka.
Explore the Hill Country
A holiday to Sri
Lanka is not complete without exploring the picturesque Hill Country. A
riveting array of things to do here include a train ride between Nuwara Eliya
and Ella, a hike to Little Adam's Peak or Ella Rock, Lipton’s
Seat or a tea plantation visit. A ride from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya
is a brilliant idea with beautiful waterfalls appearing at every turn of the
drive.
There are so
many beautiful places, cities, attractions, sights and sounds to explore and things
to do in Sri Lanka that a single holiday is never enough, and drawing inspiration
to visit Sri Lanka again is never difficult. If you are a solo traveller planning
your maiden trip to the country then check out my blog on irresistible things to do in Sri Lanka on solo travel.
