Galle

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!

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.

This guide presents destinations where you should visit during November-April season. It covers a diverse range of experiences, from exploring ancient cities like Anuradhapura and Sigiriya to soaking in the cool climates of Nuwara Eliya, Haputale, and Ella, surrounded by lush tea plantations. The journey also includes a thrilling safari in Yala, Tissamaharama, beach relaxation in Mirissa, and a historic exploration of Galle. This itinerary captures the essence of Sri Lanka's rich culture, scenic landscapes, and vibrant coastal life, offering an unforgettable adventure.
