In awe of nature, mesmerized by its jaw-dropping beauty and the wildlife that completes it. Sri Lanka, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, a hotspot for flora and fauna, and a country full of adventures! On this backpacking journey across Sri Lanka’s wild side, we explore the wonders of nature and understand exactly why the gods must be have been crazy!

Our journey in Sri Lanka begins in the capital city of Colombo. An exciting city tour awaits us where we explore the key landmarks such as the old parliament, the lighthouse clock tower, Colombo harbor, Gangarama Temple in the Beira Lake, Independence Square, and the Viharamahadevi Park, Lotus Tower!

After a day in the city, we head south to explore the wild. Yala, spanning over 900+ kilometers, is home to a large number of animals and exotic birds! Treat yourself to a jeep ride and go for a safari ride of a lifetime! One can spot peacocks, crocodiles, wild boars, and spotted deer grazing across the scrub forest. Not only that, there are chances to even come across leopards, sloth bears, and a colossal tusker! Your wildlife explorations do not end in Yala - Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home is the next destination where we dive deeper into the wild. It is wholesome to witness the day-to-day activities of elephants!

Further, on your journey, you will head to Mirissa, a place truly heaven! You’ll get to spot the giant whales and dolphins! And if you are lucky, you will be able to catch a glimpse of the killer whales (also known as orcas)! Truly a once in a lifetime experience, isn’t it?

On your journey ahead, you will visit the famous key landmarks across Sri Lanka like the Dondara Head lighthouse, which is located on the southernmost point of Sri Lanka and is the tallest in the country. Witness a majestic 51 feet high buddha statue, that was built back in the 10th century in Buduruwagala!

After exploring the wild side of Sri lanka, you will get a day of indulgence and luxury in the resort town of Ahangama. Take your time to relax, unwind and escape from your busy life. Enjoy the spa treatments and treat yourself with all the love in the beautiful resort.
