Travel to me is all about rejuvenation and learning. It is taking a break and exploring how the life and times and gain some perspective. Every place has a different story to tell and as a traveler, a researcher, and a teacher, I feel it attracts me even more. So this time, when my friends and I were planning a trip, Sri Lanka was already decided for we had heard a great deal about the place. All that was left now was a good Sri Lanka package and that too was taken care by TravelTriangle which my friends had recommended me.

Day 1: Elephants, Temples, and a whole lot of good things
We were warmly welcomed at the Airport and then proceeded onward to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage to see the elephants. It was a beautiful view seeing the elephants especially to see the baby elephants doing really well. We later went to see the village life, ate the local village food and rode a bullock cart as part of the village life experience. Thereafter we went to the UNESCO Heritage Site at Dambulla to explore the famous Golden Rock cave temple. The view was spectacular and climbing up the stairs to the top was a task on the day of arrival. Later we went to Sigiriya for a night stay at Grand Kalundawa Waterfront Resort. The stay was relaxing and the food was very traditional and it was a really good experience. Overall, our first day in Sri Lanka was well spent.

On the second day we climbed the Pidurangala rock for the majestic view of the rock fortress of Sigiriya – the lion rock.

Our best moments from the trip
I had never thought Sri Lanka is that beautiful but as it turned out, I returned home mesmerized. The city is beautiful, the food is delicious (but that would depend on each person), and the beaches are amazingly serene. I really enjoyed seeing the turtles especially the baby turtles. They are really beautiful creatures. And another beautiful thing to see around Sri Lanka is the Buddhist temple. It is warm and a place for peace and serenity. Needless to say, our all girls trip to Sri Lanka was super successful and fun!
