1. Kandy – A Day Spent With Nature

As soon as we landed in Kandy, we got ready to explore this gem in Sri Lanka. Kandy is home to some nice places and offers picturesque views that will win your heart. We went to Pinnawala elephant orphanage wherein we feed the elephants which was a unique experience for us. Later in the evening, we headed to Kandy temple which is a very beautiful place and offers peace and tranquility. The temple is in fact a historical landmark for people like us.

The fact that Sri Lanka is a potpourri of various heartwarming experiences is what attracted us the most. Amongst all, the tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya were our favorites. The town gives British vibes. Visiting the tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya was a soul-soothing experience. The lush greenery in the surroundings make our hearts skip a beat. Apart from that, we visited the waterfall and Gregory lake. The next day, we explored the adventurous Ella wherein we visited caves. It was an eye-opening experience as we got to know a lot about it. Ella is also a good place for those who are looking for some thrill.

3. Hikkaduwa – A Plunge Into Real Thrill

Our most awaited day finally came. When I had been to Sri Lanka alone, I had indulged in various water sports which thrilled me up from head to toe. I shared it with my wife and we decided that we will together try water activities. So, we did scuba diving in Hikkaduwa which was one of the most memorable experiences in our 7 days Sri Lanka trip from Chennai. We’d love to go back to that moment! There are so many beaches in Hikkaduwa that we jumped for joy. It was like a beach vacation for us and we had turned kids for sometime.
