There are plenty of things that draw people to Sri Lanka, and here are our top reasons for visiting this impressive holiday destination.
Amazing wildlife
Sri Lanka is known for the amazing wildlife experiences that it offers those who travel there, and visitors can expect to see wild elephants, leopards, sloth bears, buffalo, and blue whales and dolphins too depending on the season.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Sri Lanka boasts six UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the sacred city of Anuradhapura, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, the golden temple of Dambulla, the ancient city of Sigiriya, the sacred city of Kandy, and the old town of Galle and its fortifications.
