10 reasons why you should visit Sri Lanka: The Pearl of Indian Ocean

4) Sri Lanka is a small island. If you are a beach lover, then it is an excellent place for
you. The southwestern coast of Sri Lanka is suitable for swimmers. Various water
sports like scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing are available on the beach. The
Bentota River is also an excellent place for sailing, windsurfing, and water skiing.

productive forests in Asia, in terms of fauna.

  Besides, birds migrate from Siberia and Western Europe during winter. There are

Sinharaja forest reserve (1988).

7) Another major attraction in Sri Lanka is ‘Kandy,’ the second biggest city in Sri Lanka.
It is also known as the ‘Royal City.’ Typically, when we hear the word ‘city,’ scenes of
busy roads, the noise of vehicles, and tall buildings come in our mind, but Kandy is the
opposite. The main attraction of Kandy is its beautiful natural landscapes. It is a hilly
area. The Golden Temple of the heaving Tooth smells of spices, and the village-like
lifestyle of the locality has made it an ideal place for those who want to get away from
the crowds and bustles of a big city.  

8) Sri Lanka has many hotels and resorts for tourists with all the modern facilities and
different services. If you want to know more about Sri Lankan hotels you can visit Sri

9) Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, and Christian are the major religions in Sri Lanka.
All the year-round, numerous festivals are held in the country, but the most popular is
the “Kandy Esala Perahera.” This festival lasts for ten days. Dancing, singing, pujas, and many other activities are observed during these ten days. Tourists of other countries can also share the joy and excitement.

10) Sri Lanka is a melting pot of culture and religion. There are many Hindu and
Buddhist temples and mosques. Some of the famous Buddhist temples are
Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya, Vajiraramaya, Dipaduttaramaya, Gotham Vihapaya,
and Purana Viharaya. Among Hindu temples, there are Pettah and Bambalapitiya,
and Sri Siva Subramania Swami Kovil. Some of the famous mosques are the Davatagaha
mosque and the Afar Jumma mosque.
