Kandy Lake - Kandy Lake, also known as Kiri Muhuda or the Sea of Milk, is an artificial lake in the heart of Kandy, Sri Lanka.

This museum represents the cultural, technological, and archaeological value of Sigiriya. The Sigiriya Museum allows visitors to explore three decades of archaeological research on Sigiriya. The design of the museum was inspired by the complex design systems evident in Sigiriya itself.

SIGIRIYA - NUWARA ELIYA

Ramboda Waterfall - Start your day in the morning and head towards Nuwara Eliya. Enjoy the scenic waterfall views and misty tea plantations. Visit the Ramboda Falls. Rivers, as they flow over uneven ground or down mountains, often split into tributaries or form waterfalls. Sometimes two tributaries of the same river may form twin waterfalls very close to each other as the water spills down cliffs and rocks. However, it is quite uncommon for the tributaries to combine after forming the waterfalls, creating a Y shape.

This unique and beautiful sight can be seen in the Pussellawa area of Nuwara Eliya, at the Ramboda Pass. The Ramboda Falls in Sri Lanka, also known as Ramboda Ella or Puna Ella, is created from Puna Oya, a tributary of Kothmale Oya. It forms a twin with Dunsinane Falls, created by Pundalu Oya, also a tributary of the Kothmale River, and combines at the base to form a Y shape.

Shri Bhakta Hanuman Temple - It was Gurudev’s Sankalpa, when he visited Sri Lanka in 1980, to establish a spiritual center at Ramboda. Chinmaya Mission Sri Lanka, with Gurudev’s blessings, purchased 10 acres of land in 1981 at Wevanden Hills. He named the land “Ramboda.” It is situated in the central part of Sri Lanka, 3,200 ft above sea level, 150 km from Colombo (a 3.5-hour drive). It is believed that Sri Hanumanji set his feet in these holy hills while searching for Sitaji. Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda consecrated the temple on April 8, 2001, by performing Maha Kumbhabhishekam. This grand temple is now a great monument where the 16 ft idol of Lord Hanuman is the Moola Murti. Vinayakar, Dhyaneshwar, and Sri Rama with Mother Sita and Lakshmana are the parivara murtis.

Pedro Tea Factory - Visit the Tea Factory and plantation to see how the world-famous “Ceylon Tea” is manufactured.

James Taylor, a British citizen, introduced commercial tea plantation in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). He arrived in Sri Lanka in 1852 and settled in Loolecondera estate in Kandy. Today, even people who have never heard of Sri Lanka are familiar with Ceylon tea, known for its quality.

Sita Temple - The Sita Amman Temple, dedicated to Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, is situated in the hills of Nuwara Eliya and is revered by Hindus as it is considered the only such temple in the world. It is located five kilometers along the road from Nuwara Eliya to Kandy. History suggests that this is the place where King Ravana held Sita imprisoned. What is interesting about the temple is the presence of footprints by the river, believed to be akin to Hanuman’s.

Little Adam’s Peak View Point - Proceed towards Ella and visit Little Adam’s Peak. Don’t miss this beautiful tourist site in Sri Lanka.

Mirissa - Head towards Mirissa, located in the southern part of Sri Lanka, which boasts wonderful beaches. Spend your day relaxing at the hotel after witnessing the stilt fishermen experience on the way to your hotel. Stilt fishing is a unique method of fishing in Sri Lanka, known as “the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.” The fishermen sit on a crossbar called a ‘petta’ tied to a vertical pole driven into the sand a few meters offshore. From this high position, the fishermen cast their line and wait for a fish to be caught. Although the approach looks primitive and ancient, it is a fascinating sight.

MIRISSA - GALLE - BENTOTA

Mirissa Beach - Whale and dolphin watching in Mirissa is one of the most exciting water activities you can do during your holiday in Sri Lanka. Often spotted blue whales are the biggest animals in the world, and Mirissa is the best place to start your whale and dolphin watching tour in Sri Lanka.

Board a cruise in the morning and go in search of whales in the middle of the sea, enjoying breakfast on the cruise while watching the whales jump.

Galle Fort - The history of Galle extends thousands of years to biblical times. In more recent times, it was a prize for western traders in search of wealth and glory.

It is definitely a fascinating place to visit.

Galle Fort Lighthouse - Galle Lighthouse is an onshore lighthouse in Galle, Sri Lanka, operated and maintained by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.

Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications - Old Town of Galle, Sri Lanka, was built as a fortified coastal city with large walls along the seashore. It was designed with a European mindset, anticipating attacks from colonial competitors from both the sea and the land.

BENTOTA - COLOMBO

Madu Ganga Biodiversity Area - Head towards Colombo (Urban Commercial Area) via Madu Ganga. Madu River is a wetland near the small town of “Balapitiya” along the Colombo-Galle highway. This is the point where the estuary of the Madu River is located. The river flows through a terrain where it creates a large number of islands, and the ecosystem creates a beautiful wetland. The hotels around offer boat rides through the canals at a reasonable cost, and there are plenty of places to stay, dine, and enjoy.

Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project - Turtles are reptiles of the order Chelonii, also known as chelonians by researchers and conservationists. Chelonians are characterized by their special bony shell or carapace, developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. They are an ancient group, with the first proto-turtles having evolved over 220 million years ago in the Triassic Era. The order of Chelonii, also known as Testudines, includes three members: turtles, tortoises, and terrapins.

Turtles: In North America, the term refers to all chelonians, including tortoises and terrapins. However, in the UK, “turtle” refers to sea-dwelling species of chelonians. The term generally refers to chelonians with flippers that spend most of their lives in water.
