Colombo<\/p><\/div>\n
Colombo, the capital of Srilanka, is the biggest city and major port, draws together all the colours and cultures that make up this beautiful island nation, condenses them into a patchwork of markets, gardens and buildings both grand and humble, and knocks them against a narrow slab of beachfront. Many visitors will appreciate Colombo’s colonial heritage, its fine dining ,shopping opportunities , nightlife and the dash of urban buzz in an overwhelmingly rural country. Others will tire quickly of the diesel fumes and the modern buildings on Galle Rd, the city’s main artery. If you’re only on a short trip to Sri Lanka, you may wish to pass by Colombo, but if you have the time – say at least two days – there are plenty of cultural and historical attractions in areas such as Fort, Cinnamon Gardens and Pettah.<\/p>\n

Bentota (2 nights)<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Bentota,](\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Bentota.jpg\")
Bentota, Sri Lanka<\/p><\/div>\n
This sparsely populated beach is located in the Galle district, 62 Km south of Colombo. It is a well-developed town with several hotels, surrounded by swaying palm trees. Bentota also has an open-air theatre where folk and mask dancing performances are staged regularly. Bentota has many delightful resorts and is ideally located for those wishing to visit other resorts along the 130 km long golden coastline. At Bentota, you can take a safari at the Yala Wild Life Park, enjoy various water sports, explore the coral reefs in a glass boat, visit historical sights and release three-day-old turtle hatchlings into the sea.<\/p>\n
Kandy (1 night)<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Kandy](\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Kandy-Sri-Lanka.jpg\")
Kandy Sri Lanka<\/p><\/div>\n
The easy-going capital of the Hill Country has a lot to offer – history, culture, forested hills and a touch of urban buzz. Only 115km inland from the Colombo city , climatically it is a world away due to its 500m altitude. Kandy served as the capital of the last Sinhalese kingdom, which fell to the British in 1815 after defying the Portuguese and Dutch for three centuries. It took the British 11 years to build a road linking Kandy with Colombo, a task they finally completed in 1831. The town, and the countryside around it, is lush and green and there are many pleasant walks from the town and further afield. The town centre, close to Kandy’s picturesque lake set in a bowl of hills, is a delightful jumble of old shops, antique and gemstone specialists, a bustling market and a very good selection of hotels, guesthouses and restaurants. Kandy is particularly well known for the great Kandy Esala Perahera, held over 10 days leading up to the Nikini poya (full moon) at the end of the month of Esala (July\/August), but has enough attractions to justify a visit at any time of year.<\/p>\n
Nuwara Elliya (1 night)<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Nuwara](\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Nuwara-Elliya-Sri-lanka.jpg\")
Nuwara Elliya Sri lanka<\/p><\/div>\n
Nuwara Eliya is a mountain station at 6,128 feet of altitude, in a splendid landscape. The city pretends to be particularly well-kept and neat, and the always green grass gives to the locality an aspect of “colonial British style”.<\/p>\n
Nuwara Eliya was built entirely during the 19th century and its architecture mimics that of an English country town, with red-brick walls, country house like hill club and mock-Tudor half-timbering. Blessed with salubrious climate, breathtaking views of valleys, meadows, mountains and greenery; it’s hard to imagine that Nuwara Eliya is only 180 Km from the hot and humid Colombo. Temperatures are 14C-21C (Jan- April) 16C-18C (May-Aug) 15C- 18C (Sept-Dec).<\/p>\n
Dambulla & Sigiriya (1 night)<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Travel](\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Travel-Guide-for-Sri-Lanka.jpg\")
Travel Guide for Sri Lanka<\/p><\/div>\n
The Rock Temple of Dambulla, is situated about forty seven miles north west of Kandy. Dambulla is most well known for the impressive cave temples (officially known as the Royal Rock Temple) atop a massive hill on the edge of town. You can visit it as a day trip from Kandy, or stop by on your way to or from Sigiriya, The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavangsha, this site was selected by King Kasyapa (477 – 495 CE) for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure – Sihagiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and the royal palace was abandoned after the king’s death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century. Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning. It is the most visited historic site in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

It is a well-developed town with several hotels, surrounded by swaying palm trees. Bentota also has an open-air theatre where folk and mask dancing performances are staged regularly. Bentota has many delightful resorts and is ideally located for those wishing to visit other resorts along the 130 km long golden coastline. At Bentota, you can take a safari at the Yala Wild Life Park, enjoy various water sports, explore the coral reefs in a glass boat, visit historical sights and release three-day-old turtle hatchlings into the sea.<\/p>\n Kandy Sri Lanka<\/p><\/div>\n The easy-going capital of the Hill Country has a lot to offer – history, culture, forested hills and a touch of urban buzz. Only 115km inland from the Colombo city , climatically it is a world away due to its 500m altitude. Kandy served as the capital of the last Sinhalese kingdom, which fell to the British in 1815 after defying the Portuguese and Dutch for three centuries. It took the British 11 years to build a road linking Kandy with Colombo, a task they finally completed in 1831. The town, and the countryside around it, is lush and green and there are many pleasant walks from the town and further afield. The town centre, close to Kandy’s picturesque lake set in a bowl of hills, is a delightful jumble of old shops, antique and gemstone specialists, a bustling market and a very good selection of hotels, guesthouses and restaurants. Kandy is particularly well known for the great Kandy Esala Perahera, held over 10 days leading up to the Nikini poya (full moon) at the end of the month of Esala (July\/August), but has enough attractions to justify a visit at any time of year.<\/p>\n Nuwara Elliya Sri lanka<\/p><\/div>\n Nuwara Eliya is a mountain station at 6,128 feet of altitude, in a splendid landscape. The city pretends to be particularly well-kept and neat, and the always green grass gives to the locality an aspect of “colonial British style”.<\/p>\n Nuwara Eliya was built entirely during the 19th century and its architecture mimics that of an English country town, with red-brick walls, country house like hill club and mock-Tudor half-timbering. Blessed with salubrious climate, breathtaking views of valleys, meadows, mountains and greenery; it’s hard to imagine that Nuwara Eliya is only 180 Km from the hot and humid Colombo. Temperatures are 14C-21C (Jan- April) 16C-18C (May-Aug) 15C- 18C (Sept-Dec).<\/p>\n Travel Guide for Sri Lanka<\/p><\/div>\n The Rock Temple of Dambulla, is situated about forty seven miles north west of Kandy. Dambulla is most well known for the impressive cave temples (officially known as the Royal Rock Temple) atop a massive hill on the edge of town. You can visit it as a day trip from Kandy, or stop by on your way to or from Sigiriya, The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres (660 ft) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavangsha, this site was selected by King Kasyapa (477 – 495 CE) for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure – Sihagiri, the Lion Rock. The capital and the royal palace was abandoned after the king’s death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century. Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning. It is the most visited historic site in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n If you are planning a long holiday or wish to explore more Srilanka Tour Packages<\/a>.
