Essential Travel Itinerary: Sri Lanka

Although it stands small in comparison to its neighbour India, you won't want to miss an opportunity to visit Sri Lanka and these marvelous sites. The capital Colombo offers rides and tours in three-wheeled Trishaws, wonderful seafood and exotic temples, such as the 'Gangaramaya Temple'. Kandy's a large, interior town which houses the 'Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic'. But if seeing the Buddah's tooth doesn't draw you in, it's architecture and festive spirit will. If Buddhism is an important factor, then you can't miss Dambulla which houses a vast array of artwork and temples. Yala National Park is a huge animal reserve filled with leopards, elephants, monkeys, and exotic birds. A treat for any exotic animal lover. Being an island of course, there's beaches. Those of Arugam Bay are popular for surfing and offer immense pleasure for the eyes, body and mind.
