When you travel across Sri Lanka, it feels like you're in a story. You never know what's going to happen next. You begin in Anuradhapura, where there are antique stones all over the place, each one with its own secret. If you go a little further, you'll see Sigiriya Rock Fortress rising up out of the jungle. You will understand why people rave about it after you reach the top and catch your breath. Then you go to Dambulla, where you can see the caves full of colourful murals and statues. The past is so close that you can almost touch it.
The place is buzzing because Kandy is next. There are usually people on the streets, and the Temple of the Tooth is a popular place for pilgrims to visit. There is music, colours, and something going on at every corner. If you go up the hill, you'll be in Nuwara Eliya in no time. The weather turns cooler, tea plantations grow in every direction, and it all seems a little strange.
Yala National Park is next, and it's perfect for anyone who wants to have some fun. If you're lucky, you might see an elephant or a leopard cross your path. Pettah market - busy marketplace in the city of srilanka. You can always get away to Beruwala when all that commotion gets too much. There, palm trees bend over calm blue ocean and everything calms down. And don't forget to check out the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall. It's a sleek reminder that Sri Lanka is still in the present..
