Sri Lanka—a country that had been on my list for so long. A country that has faced many hardships in recent years. The tsunami left a significant impact, followed by a civil war, the pandemic, and the country’s bankruptcy, which plunged its people into poverty. Now that Sri Lanka is slowly recovering, tourism is essential to get the economy back on track. But no matter what happens, the Sri Lankans never lose their smile!
Sri Lanka is not a large country—roughly the size of Belgium and the Netherlands combined. This makes it easy to travel across. Despite the slow traffic, 3 weeks is enough time to explore both the country’s major highlights and its hidden gems on a Sri Lanka Itinerary.
