Your Sri Lanka Adventure

📍Planning a trip to Sri Lanka between December and April? This one’s for you. After 3 months of zigzagging through sun, rain, and way too many tuk-tuks, I built a 2-week route that actually works – made for the dry season on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast. It’s not a Pinterest-perfect bucket list. It’s a practical itinerary that mixes the famous with the underrated – temples, tea, wildlife, beaches. It flows, makes sense, and avoids the classic mistakes. You’ll get: ▪️ Real culture with and without crowds ▪️ Nature without the 5 a.m. jeep jam ▪️ The right beaches at the right time ▪️ Highlights + hidden gems 🗺️ The full 2-week route (Dec–Apr): 1️⃣ Colombo (1 night) – Eat like a local before heading inland 2️⃣ Sigiriya (2 nights) – Lion Rock – Pidurangala Rock – Dambulla Cave Temple – Ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa 3️⃣ Kandy (2 nights) – Temple of the Tooth – Bahirawakanda Temple – Nelligala Buddhist Centre – Ambuluwawa Tower 4️⃣ Nuwara Eliya (2 nights) (Jan–Mar) – Scenic train ride – Pekoe Trail hike – British mountain village vibe Outside Jan–Mar? Swap in: → Ella (2 nights) – Nine Arches Bridge – Little Adam’s Peak 5️⃣ Udawalawe NP (1 night) – Elephants, no traffic jams 6️⃣ Hiriketiya (3 nights) – Dangerously chill beach time 7️⃣ Ahangama or Weligama (3 nights) – Café & surf scene – Weligama = social hub – Ahangama = hip hideout 📍Best for: Travel from Dec to April (Coming another time? Check my route for May–Sep – monsoon-proof & east-coast ready.) ➡️ Save this ➡️ Share it ➡️ Plan smarter than 90% of the internet #SriLankaRoute #SriLankaItinerary #2WeeksInSriLanka #TravelSriLanka #BackpackingSriLanka #SriLankaTips #WhereToGoInSriLanka #AsiaTravelGuide #SriLankaBeaches #DigitalNomadLife
