The most unique experiences one must have in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a stunning country dotted with pristine beaches, ancient temples and a number of natural wonders. It is a perfect place for those wanting to experience solitude in the lap of nature. This nature-kissed tropical island country might be small in size but offers rich experiences. Here are some experiences for those who wish to witness the real beauty of Sri Lanka.
Learn the art of fishing from the local fishermen
Sounds interesting, right? What can be better than learning the art of fishing from those who know the sea from their childhood. If you wish to learn the art, all you need to do is join them in action and catch one or two for yourself!
Whales and dolphins watching in Trincomalee
The picturesque town of Trincomalee features two beaches, Nilaveli and Uppuveli. Both these beaches are considered the prettiest in the country and are known for their crystal clear waters, which are home to blue whales and dolphins.
Visit the Pahiyangala Cave or Fa Hien Cave
This will be a bone-chilling experience for sure. According to archaeologists, this cave in Kalutara, Sri Lanka, houses remains of a 37000-year-old prehistoric civilization! This mega cave is one of the largest natural rock formations in Asia. There’s also a 40 ft long statue of the reclining Buddha inside.
Paragliding in Dambulla
Paragliding is probably one of the best ways to experience the beauty of this gorgeous country; Dambulla is the place where one can indulge in this magical ride. The glide will take you about 2000 ft above in the skies from where you can experience the gorgeous views.
Climb Pidurangala Rock
If you wish to do some non-touristy stuff, choose to climb the Pidurangala Rock instead of the always crowded Sigiriya Rock Fortress. It’s just a little farther from Sigiriya and it will be an amazing, thrilling, and soul-stirring experience.
Book a stay at an organic farm
If you are done staying at the beach cottages, book a stay at an organic farm in the Pallepola town of Sri Lanka. This countryside town is known for its wooded hills and paddy-fields. Spend a day with farmers, enjoy freshly picked organic vegetables and home-cooked meals. The town is also perfect for bird lovers.
