One year ago I was on an amazing Journey. My fourth visit to Sri Lanka.

with a Rich Culture, Unesco Heritage Sites, Super Friendly People, beautiful Nature, Tea estates, and Aundant Wildlife. Sri Lanka, the perfect holiday destination is open for Travel and tourism again in 2021

Sri Lanka is truly the perfect destination for a Holiday. With beautiful, pristine beaches if you just want to chill, with stunning sunsets, and you will see something very unique to Sri Lanka, Stilt Fisherman.

But if Culture is more your thing Sri Lanka also has an astonishing array of Historical places, several Unesco World Heritage sites, Ancient cities, Cave Temples. You can visit beautiful temples and learn about Buddhism, and Buddhist history in Sri Lanka.

The access to nature in Sri Lanka is superb, you can go from the city to a provincial park in a few short hours, where you can see wild elephants, Leopards, peacocks.

It is a nature lovers paradise. Tea Estates are a must see when you are in the Highlands in Nuwara Eliya and Ella.

Sri Lanka has a unique style and it is evident all over the island.

Buddhism has had a significant influence on Sri Lankan architecture, as it has been around since the third Century B.C. Geoffrey Bawa gave rise to Sri Lanka’s unique style of Tropical Modernism. You can see it all over the island. You can also visit Lunuganga his former Country Heritage Estate in Bentota. It's a relaxing place with beautiful gardens and has been turned into a boutique guest house with just a few rooms. Operated by Teardrop Hotels. I loved my time there.

I was so lucky to spend three months traveling there in 2020 and I can't wait to return again.

Sri Lanka has just reopened again for Tourism and they are doing a fantastic job by implementing very strict health and safety measures.

You can learn more about it on the official website for Sri Lanka Tourism.

I will be sharing more images and stories from my trip soon.

You can also check out my Sri Lanka gallery.

Hope you are all keeping safe, and looking forward to a time when we can all travel safely again.
