Sri Lanka, what a place to visit! Wow! Been here once before, but had only spent a few days in Colombo and Candy. I must mention here that the people of Srilanka were so very sweet, so helpful and always had this ready smile on their faces.
The best part of the trip was the elephant orphanage at Pinnavala, there are two elephant orphanages at this place, though I spent time visiting both, I absolutely loved visiting the smaller one, where we could bathe the elephants, ride and also feed them! Now that was amazing. The scenic beauty here is indescribable, the stunning greenery, noise free atmosphere, it’s simply beautiful. Well, when I say noise free atmosphere, it is almost - except for the calming sounds of chirping birds, flowing waters, elephants splashing water, and the likes.
This time around I have Anuradhapura on my itinerary; this ancient city is termed as the ‘birthplace of the Sinhala civilization’ and has some of the oldest historic sites that are worth a visit. Also on the must visit list are the ‘Ramayana’ sites in the central region.
