Adventure Tours in Sri Lanka
A paradise isle sits calmly to the east of India brimming with sunshine and even brighter smiles. For many, Sri Lanka remains a palm-speckled question mark familiarized by its iconic teardrop shape and maybe even a Nicki Minaj verse. However, adventure travelers are beginning to unravel this island nation as a hidden haven of thrills and opportunity. The beauty of Sri Lanka is candid. It’s a barefoot playground; a world of bright colors, early mornings, and restful breaths awaiting to be seized on the back of a scooter or atop your new favorite mountain.

Best Places to Travel in Sri Lanka
Isolated climates and distinct topography have transformed Sri Lanka into one vast natural wonder. From the rugged terrain of the highlands to world-class waves and reefs near every shoreline, awes are bountiful underneath the Ceylon sun.
For those who like their overseas adventure travel to be a bit sandy and a little salty, there’s nowhere better than Sri Lanka’s unforgettable southern coast. In fact, the coastal belt from the capital city of Colombo to the crescent-shaped Arugam Bay boasts all your favorite ocean activities. Year-round reef breaks and seasonal swells make Sri Lanka the best-kept secret in surfing while a serene world of tropical fish, vast reefs, and once-forgotten shipwrecks hide just beneath. Ashore, a budding scene of ecotourism and impressive Buddhist temples await travellers.
Travel a few hours inland and you’ll trade sapphire shorelines for montane jungles and ancient landmarks in the central highlands in Kandy. A UNESCO world heritage site, this is a region that’ll justify that selfie stick. If anything, the multitude of hiking trails, national parks, waterfalls, and biodiversity is enough to keep any nature lover bewildered. Just be sure to refuel at one of the many tea plantations you’ll find along the way.
