Sri Lanka is an island in Asia, situated along the coastline of the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka’s landscapes compile rich green vegetation and dry plains all over. The government has long beaches, majestic elephants, warm locals, and implied train trips. If you schedule to take a tour to Sri Lanka, we, as India By Car and Driver, compiled the ten most beautiful places you must visit.




Locations in Sri Lanka that will enchant you

We finally begin our list.

Yala National Park

Yala National Park is the 10th most beautiful location to stopover in Sri Lanka. This park is residence to one of the largest species of leopards on our planet. This cat heaven full of forests and rich vegetation enthralls you.  

Mirissa: Mirissa is a beach escape that is adorned by many. You can enjoy an afternoon of sunbathing or witnessing whales while you lose connection with reality.

Sigiriya Rock Fortress: This rock fortress is the 8th most beautiful destination in Sri Lanka. The reason is not unlikely. The stunning water gardens and the exotic frescos are beauties to embrace. 

Old Dutch Fort

The Old Dutch Fort in Sri Lanka is the 7th most gracious area to visit in the nation.

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon by taking views of the sea from the most upheld sea fort in South Asia, the Old Dutch Fort at Galle.   

Adams Peak

Adams Peak is the 6th most charming destination to stopover in Sri Lanka, and it has been awarded a seat in the UNESCO world heritage sites list. If you want to witness the beauty of Sri Lanka at sundown, climb the slopes that lead to the top of this peak and get your breath taken away.

Dambulla Cave Temple

This cave temple is the 5th most attractive place to visit in Sri Lanka. Fun fact, Dambulla Cave has more than 150 well-crafted statues of Gautama Buddha. The landscapes in the cave are so mesmerizing and out of this world. The serenity, calm, and harmony you feel in this temple make your mind take a memory journey back to the ancient times of Sri Lanka.   

Polonnaruwa

Polonnaruwa is the 4th most attractive location to stopover in Sri Lanka. Polonnaruwa is an ancient city full of ruins. Thank god; the town is being protected for travelers to have a peek of the old town. The archeologist's place is filled with tombstones, stupas, temples, and statues.

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is the 3rd most appealing destination on this list. This breathtaking residence of baby elephants is nothing like you have ever witnessed. Upon a visit, you will observe cute elephant babies having the time of a lifetime in a short time by soaking in nearby water bodies.

Nuwara Eliya

Only the top two remain in the countdown, Nuwara Eliya and Ella. Let’s start with Nuwara Eliya. It is the second most pleasing town in Sri Lanka. This city was built in the 19th century, and it has some exotic sites such as a golf course, pubs for gentlemen, and buildings designed in Tudor style. So if you wish for a train ride in Sri Lanka, which you will never forget, Nuwara Eliya should be your top pick.   

Ella

Finally, the location for which you picked this article, Ella, is the most majestically beautiful city to visit in Sri Lanka. It is a city situated in the Badulla region of the country. It has some beautiful places of attraction like Ravana Falls and the Dhowa Rock Temple. The town also features neatly planned vegetable farms, tea plantations, and deep forests.  

For the most unmatched experience in Sri Lanka, we recommend the Golden Triangle Tour with Sri Lanka and the Majestic Sri Lanka Tour Package as India by Car and Driver.
