10 Best Places To Visit With Sri Lanka Tour Packages

1. Colombo
Colombo has a lot to offer visitors if you can get to grips with its rather disjoined layout. Explore beyond the noisy arterial roads running north-south through the centre, and you'll find centuries-old churches, colourful temples, manic markets and atmospheric drinking dens, including Traveller’s Bar, with placating views over the Indian Ocean that’ll make you think twice about rushing to head elsewhere.

Key attractions in Colombo

• Galle Face Green
• Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple
• Nawam Maha Perahera
• National Museum of Colombo
• The sacred Kelaniya Temple
• Duruthu Perehera
• Viharamahadevi Park

2. Sigiriya
Rising dramatically from the country’s central plains, the enigmatic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya is perhaps Sri Lanka's single most dramatic sight. Once you’ve scaled the rock, try trekking up neighboring hills for unbeatable views of Sigiriya, towering above its woodland surrounds.
 

3. Mirissa and the southern beaches
A lush stretch of powdered white sand set against cerulean waters. Throw in a few thickets of palm trees leaning lazily overhead and you’ve got a beach bum’s dream. Ideal for a few days of serious sunbathing and splashing in the surf, with beach-bungalow accommodation and happy-hour-cocktail deals to boot.
