Top 15 places of interest in Sri Lanka
Elephant nursery
Not far from Kandy (only forty kilometers), near the town of Pinnawala, in the local jungle, there is a real elephant rehabilitation center. Here live elephants left without parents, and old domestic elephants, which the owners can no longer (or do not want) to support anymore.
Here you can not only watch how animals are fed and bathed, but also communicate with these intelligent animals at your pleasure.
Dehiwal Zoo (Colombo)
The zoo is located 11 kilometers from the city center, and a suburb of Dehiwala. The park is located on a large territory and walks through it will appeal to both kids and their parents.
Be sure to check out the local terrarium and appreciate the beauty of the unique albino cobra. The zoo's aquarium has become home to numerous marine life. In addition, the Butterfly House has collected a huge collection of tropical insects.
Beach Wadiya Restaurant
The restaurant is located directly on the Wadiya beach. Here you will be offered a variety of seafood dishes. At the same time, you can be sure of their absolute freshness. Lobster, shrimp, crabs, oysters, marlin and tuna will be cooked according to your wishes: they can be fried, grilled, simply boiled or served raw. And although there are quite a lot of people who want to try tasty treats, no one leaves here hungry.
Negombo
This resort town is located just 10 kilometers from the international airport. And many travelers who prefer the silence of the turbulent life of the capital of the state stay here. From here, tourist routes in Ceylon begin.
Negombo is an ancient port city, from where ships with various spices were sent to Europe. And even now the city is surrounded by a huge number of cinnamon plantations.
The appearance of the city was formed during the period of the colonization of the country, and quite a lot of sights remained from the Dutch. In particular, an old fort and a network of water canals. The descendants of the colonialists still live in the city. Since the population of Negombo professes different religions, there are mosques, Catholic and Protestant churches, Hindu temples and Buddhist stupas nearby.
The coastal waters of the ocean amaze with the variety of fish living here. And the fishermen never return with empty boats. Fish markets offer crabs, shrimps and huge lobsters. If you want to watch the fishing auctions, you will have to get up very early with the sun. It is at this time that the fishermen return to the port.
