  12. Yala National Park

    activity

    Sri Lanka

    This is Sri Lanka’s most well-known national park so yes it gets busy, but book with the right operator and it’s so worth it. A safari in Sri Lanka is amazing and I recommend staying within the national park for a few days for some up close wildlife encounters

    Sri Lanka

    My favourite beach town in Sri Lanka, great for beginner and intermediate surfers, it’s also a great spot to relax on the beaches and watch the surfers ride the waves. The cafe culture here is unmatched and life is all about sitting back with a cocktail at sunset or having morning brunch overlooking the beach
