Sri Lanka Trips & Tours
Sitting pretty on the southern coast of India, and often described as ‘India light’, the emerald isle of Sri Lanka is the perfect segue between Southeast and South Asia. It’s laidback, utterly beautiful and lately, the whisper on every travel guru’s lips - and definitely ours! So, why add a trip to the mango-shaped idyll to your list? Firstly, it packs quite a punch into its diminutive size and there’s a taste of the continent’s vibrancy around every corner, from ancient, cultural heartlands to exotic forts and mist-covered mountains, to rolling, tea plantations. Secondly, it’s quite the wildlife destination. With the chance to swim alongside blue whales in the ocean, and spot leopards and trunk-swinging elephants on land, it certainly rivals big brother India in the animal stakes – and you won’t be sharing your Jungle-book moments with quite as many others. Lastly, we can’t not mention the weather and with its dreamy, equatorial location, the sun is always shining somewhere. Sri Lanka, we salute you.
In Sri Lanka, no one can draw the short straw and there really is something for everyone, be it history buffs, sun-worshippers, foodie fans and wildlife aficionados. And if that sounds like a cliché, you’ll just have to visit to prove us wrong…
There are many places to go completely off-grid in Sri Lanka, from footprint-free beaches, wilder-than-wild jungles and national parks, and coastlines far from the madding crowds, all with accommodation to match. Just say the word.
Avoid the temptation to squeeze too much in to a trip. It might be a small island and hopping around seems easy enough, but don’t let your wanderlust get the better of you.
