Different people have different ways to explore a country and Shehan can best accommodate your style, your wishes and sort out the best plan together with you~~ It is interactive and mutual all because he is highly flexible, trustable and love his country so much that he is so devoted to ensure everyone's wishes come true in Sri Lanka. Thanks Shehan to enrich the most simplest plan he has received so far (yes it is from me with only cityname + hotel haha). In our 7 days, we did not only see the beautiful scene, but most importantly, feel the friendliness of Sri Lankan.
2. Yapahuwa Rock Fortress

Reviewed By Charith B - Colombo, Sri Lanka
The fortress is a fully pleaded ancient kingdom similar to Sigiriya although the maintenance is not being done to extract the best. You have to climb about 250 steps in a steeper one off way and then 250 more rocky steps to reach the top, which is pretty tiresome. But the view from the top can compensate for the effort.

We enjoyed staying with Sam and Nilou very much. The bungalow next to the dive center is great for if you come with young kids. The diving with Sam was also great. I saw some nice stuff, such as turtles, Napoleon wrasses and some huge rays. A very nice place indeed!

I recommend you not to visit this place on a holiday. It will ruin your mood as loads of people visit this place. This place is a ancient buddhist monastery but the crowd jumble the serenity. Visit this place when no crowd is there. You will feel serenity
6. Siri Gautama Sambuddharaja Maligawa
Overall Ratings
5 based on 23 reviews
Siri Gautama Sambuddharaja Maligawa (Grand Temple of The Gautama Buddha) is one of the most beautiful Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka. This magnificent temple was completed in 2012 to honor Gautama Buddha celebrating the 2600th anniversary of his enlightenment. The temple was built through the great meritorious intentions and guidance of the most venerable Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero. The statues, paintings, carvings and all other art works in the temple were made exclusively by highly skilled Sri Lankan artists. As well, thousands of devotees connected to Mahamevnawa monasteries in the country and abroad gave their full financial and volunteer support. By placing the first stone the construction work of the grand temple was started on 6th February 2011 and the construction work was finished completely just in one year and five months. On 2nd July 2012 the temple was offered to Gautama Buddha and opened to the Public in a grand opening ceremony.

A good place to visit by Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike. It gives a brief tour around the Lord Buddhas life. However do not go on Mondays, as this place is closed on every Monday for maintenance. And for those who are interested in knowing Buddhism, there are lots of DVDs, CDs and Books related to it, which you can buy for a nominal price.

Reviewed By Hilmy_Sally - Colombo, Sri Lanka
From its humble beginnings in the 17th century (or 18th century, depending on which account about its origin you choose to believe), this shrine has grown into one of Sri Lanka's most important place of catholic worship and pilgrimage. However, the complex and its tranquil, leafy surroundings will appeal to people of all faiths. It is easily accessible by road and is a must-visit item if you happen to be in the Puttalam-Kalpitiya area. There were hardly any visitors when we visited, it being outside the annual 'feast' period.

The Elephant Freedom Project aims to give Nilame a good and safe home, which is made possible thanks to your visit!

When choosing an elephant project around Kandy, you have quite a few different options.
The reason why we chose Elephant Freedom Project, was the fact that they didn't offer elephant riding. Instead, we walked, fed and washed the elephant.
We haven't visited any other orphanage, but this place really seems to care for the animals.
This was a great experience for both kids and adults. Our guide was very friendly
and knowledgeable and made our visit enjoyable.
