In Sri Lanka, communion with nature awaits you at every step
Sri Lanka is an island that attracts lovers of mysteries, mysticism, and ancient history. It's unrealistic to tour the entire 'ocean' of cities, monuments, and parks even in the happiest few days of your stay on the land of ancestors.
Excursions in Sri Lanka promise an abundance of emotions and impressions; walks along mysterious paths with fragments and precious shards of destroyed architectural and sculptural monuments leave memories for years to come.
Every travel agency has its own exclusive program offering an unforgettable vacation on the 'tea' island. What should you pay special attention to in the programs for visiting the island's notable places?
A tour to Sri Lanka must include a visit to the unique elephant orphanage on Earth. We all love the unknown animal world, and in Sri Lanka there is an opportunity to see animals every day by visiting parks. The 'home' for elephants is located in the city of Pinnawala. There are about fifty very tiny elephant calves that have had to endure the hardships of life from an early age.
Slowly approaching the heart of Sri Lanka, you can find yourself surrounded by the fragrances of various seasonings and spices. It is in Sigiriya that you find yourself in an unusual spice garden. The smells lead to the main wonder of Sri Lanka – Sigiriya rock. To the sounds of extraordinarily magnificent nature, you listen with a sinking heart to the history of the fortress built on the rock. And here is the great palace of King Kassapa; everyone has a chance to enter the king's chambers and even sit on Kassapa's throne!
Excursion programs also won't do without a visit to Dambulla. Climbing to the very top of the mountain, you find yourself next to the enchanted Buddha temple, consisting of five caves. Tourists rush here to see the largest collection of Buddha statues.
Kandy is the capital of the island with a centuries-old history, which beckons with the majestic sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic.
Tours of the ancient capitals of the island are also always in the guides' plans. Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa cannot escape the attention of island visitors.
And the beauty of nature, the smells of exotic plants and the pleasant noise of birds chirping, the exciting sound of the stomping of large animals – you experience all sensations while in the Royal Botanical Gardens. This garden can be considered a heritage of Asian culture.
Days pass, and there is still so much unexplored and unrecognized ahead…. Excursions will help unravel the entire mystery of Sri Lanka.
