Kandy, Sri Lanka
As the second biggest city in Sri Lanka and one of the most beautiful, it’s no wonder Kandy is so popular with tourists. We loved walking around Kandy Lake also known as the Sea of Milk, a stunning spot a short walk from the city center and one of the best spots in the city to watch the sunrise or sunset. The walk around the lake is 3.4 kilometers long.

Ella, Sri Lanka
A small town with chilled-out vibe, Ella was one of our favorite places to visit in Sri Lanka. Four nights in Ella is the perfect amount of time as it will allow you to relax and tick off the area’s best things to do. We spend our three full days here hiking to Adam’s Peak, snapping photos of the social-media-famous Nine Arches Bridge, and visiting a tea factory.

Udawalawa, Sri Lanka
My favorite part of our Sri Lanka trip was seeing elephants in the wild at Udawalawe National Park. Sure, there are lots of amazing national parks in Sri Lanka but I did my research before arriving and decided on Udawalawe because it has the highest number of elephants (over 500). Udawalawe is also less crowded than the more famous Yala or Minneriya national parks.

Galle, Sri Lanka
Galle is a fortified city in the Southwest of the country. It was built by the Portuguese and many of its buildings show the influence of Portuguese architectural style on Sri Lankan traditions. It is certainly a unique place and so inherently different to other cities in Sri Lanka.
