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.

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.
