While taking a break at your office, you suddenly dream of white sand beaches, exotic foods and scuba diving. As busy as you are, you may be thinking of how to book your dream holiday to Sri Lanka without all the hustles and bustles. Fact is that planning for your trip is not as difficult as it may seem.
Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Tooth
At the edge of the lake, within the pale, gracefully undulating ramparts of the Royal Palace, is the Temple of the Tooth. It is a favourite attraction for visitors on their Sri Lanka holidays and a famous site for religious pilgrimage. They all come to see the casket holding the sacred tooth of the Buddha.
Be sure to dress respectfully here and remember to keep your shoulders covered. It is also considered bad manners to turn your back on the statues when posing for a photograph. If you plan your Sri Lanka holidays for the ten days overlapping July and August, you can witness one of Asia's most colourful pageants in Kandy: the Esala Perahera festival. What more could you wish for from a procession than costumed dancers and a hundred elephants?
To cool you up a little bit we'll make our trip further up country to NUWARA ELIYA the little England of Sri Lanka. Its where the flowers blossom and many activities take place in April to August. Ambient temperature is around 10-15C or may be lower. Watch horse races, take a boat ride in the lake, play golf or just enjoy walking around HAGGALA PARK.
Scuba Diving
Of course there are some Sri Lanka holiday activities that cannot be done in the mountains, and top of this list comes scuba diving. Sri Lanka's coast is surrounded by a vast coral reef making the diving exceptional. Just below the surface of the turquoise waters, divers will find a huge selection of varied and colourful coral, shells and fish
