Exciting news for travel enthusiasts: Sri Lanka has been named one of the 23 best places to travel around the world in 2023 by Forbes magazine!
Despite facing some challenges in recent years, this tropical paradise remains a spectacular and affordable destination that’s well worth the journey.
According to Juliana Broste, a renowned travel filmmaker and host, there’s something for everyone in Sri Lanka. From the lively capital city of Colombo to the breathtaking beaches, rice fields, waterfalls, plains, and mountains, this island nation is full of surprises. And with so much to see in such a compact area, you’ll want to always keep your camera handy.
Wildlife lovers will be in heaven here, too. You can visit an Elephant Sanctuary, go whale watching in the Indian Ocean, or observe birds, lizards, jellyfish, and monkeys in a mangrove. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a leopard at Yala National Park.
For those interested in culture and history, Sri Lanka boasts ancient cities like Anuradhapura and Kandy, where you can catch a traditional Kandyan dance performance and marvel at the intricate architecture of Buddhist temples. And in the cool hill country town of Nuwara Eliya, known as “Little England,” you can sip on some of the world-famous Ceylon tea and take in the stunning views of the surrounding tea plantations.
To get a bird’s eye view of Colombo, head to the top of the Lotus Tower, the tallest tower in South Asia. Or for a more adventurous outing, climb Lion’s Rock, an ancient stronghold perched atop a dramatic rock outcrop that was once home to an entire civilization.
So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and book your trip to Sri Lanka, a land of wonders and adventures just waiting to be explored.
