Off the Beaten Path: Sri Lanka's Hidden Places ✨

This list includes all of the must-sees of Sri Lanka! Don't leave the country without visiting these incredible places or you will have the worlds worst fomo...guaranteed. I've included all of my recommendations for the best activities, restaurants, bars, and beaches... neatly organized by each tourist hot spot. 

Best of The Best: Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a hidden gem in South East Asia located right below India. Its size makes possible to travel all around the island and see its nature, do water sports like surf, witness amazing sunsets everyday and learn about its beautiful and rich culture, too. You can find everything in this island; mountain, beaches, culture, water sports, good food, party, super friendly locals and more! 

I travelled almost all around the country for 2 weeks, and in this guide I'm sharing with you the best places, tips and my honest opinion so you can enjoy to the fullest of your upcoming trip to Sri Lanka!

SRI LANKA: Nature, Surf & Culture

A comprehensive 2-3 week Itinerary in one of the most best countries I have ever visited. 

Sri Lanka is a beautiful and versatile country. It is not big and the distances between destinations are short. You can visit Sri Lanka with a fixed itinerary, but this is not necessary. Booking a hotel last minute is easy and transport is often available without a reservation. Due to the many highlights, it can be difficult to make choices: there is so much to do, even in two or three weeks you will not be able to see everything.

If you want to add on the Maldives also as it is a short flight from Sri Lanka then check out our 8 day guide. This is the perfect combination of 5 days on a resort and 3 days on a local island for a backpackers budget. The best of both worlds.

Top Attractions and Hidden Gems in Sri Lanka 

Anuradhapura

Established in 377 BC as the first capital of Sri Lanka,  Anuradhapura is a historical place in Sri Lanka as it houses several heritage monasteries, palaces, and monuments. It is also home to the world's largest stupa - the Jeetawarnamaya Stupa. 

A beautiful guided visit I recommend along Sri Lanka's cultural and religious background if you plan to travel around the Northern part. 

Take a day trip to this UNESCO world heritage site. It dates back to 10th century BC. Lots of old ruins and temples to explore.
