Great ideas for trips

Elephant vilage – it is a one day trip. You can see feeding of elephants, bathing in river, even riding on them. Absolutelly imazing place to visite. Any hotel will provide you with futher information.

Tower Sigitiya – one day trip. Entry this amazing tower with remains from 5th century. Explore the amazing views of the countryside from the top. This monument is listed under (UNESCO)- national heritage.

Rainforest in Singharaja – it is also protected by UNESCO.

So what can you find here? Count with me as I made the reserch.

331 species of plants

65 species of butterflies

10 species of fishes

19 species of amphibians

29 species of reptiles

141 species of birds

40 species of mammals

It is my dream to visit this place, as I would be able to hunt those creatures for hours just to see them. Excellent place for every animal lover.

Safari park – another amazing thing to do. Get on a Jeep and travel trough wild nature. If you are lucky you can see wild elephants, Buffalos, leopards, crocodiles, reptiles and birds.

well be honest with you Tatto. The best holiday ever would be Hotel Atlantis. We could get a room with the big aquarium instead of tv, waht you think?

Thanks for the information Lizzy. I have never been to Sri Lanka. Often thought of popping across when I was in India but it never happened. Now I know where to visit, perhaps I will.

This Hub looks so professional! Like it came right out of a brochure. I have to admit, a few year ago, I didn't even know Sri Lanka existed. :/ Even more embarrassing, the other regions you mentioned, I've never heard of most of them. You've just educated me. Thanks.
