How to plan a Honeymoon to Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a welcome treat to those on their honeymoon. The scenic beauty of the hill country, the beaches in the south, the roaring capital where all ethnicities and cultures live, and the amazing cuisine are all reasons for you to want to honeymoon in Sri Lanka. This little island offers everything to couples who wish to make long-lasting memories.
Best time to visit
Sri Lanka is a year-round tourist destination; however, the best time to visit this island nation depends on the experience you want to have.
The country has two monsoon seasons: The South-West monsoon and the North-East monsoon. The South-West monsoon runs from May to September, and the North-East monsoon runs from December to March. The periods in-between are called winter monsoons: March to April and October to November. With all this in mind, the best time to visit Sri Lanka is from January to April and mid-July to September.
Sri Lanka accommodation for newlyweds
When it comes to accommodation, Sri Lanka offers you a wide range of options. You can have budget accommodation, mid-range accommodation and luxury accommodation. Sri Lanka is also an excellent event destination; therefore, finding wedding hotels in Colombo is effortless. Properties the likes of Pegasus Reef are abundant here.
Whatever your budget is, whatever you have in your mind, you are sure to find it in Sri Lanka.
The Cultural Triangle
Three historically important cities make up the cultural triangle – Anuradhapura, Dambulla and Polonnaruwa create the heart of historic Sri Lanka.
This region of the country offers you plenty of sightseeing opportunities. Visiting Dambulla caves is one of the best things you can do while in Sri Lanka. The caves are awe-inspiring, and their contents are even more so. Inside these caves is a massive number of statues, various murals and gilded stupas. The Sigiriya Rock Fortress is another place you find within the Cultural Triangle. The climb is a little steep, but if you manage to get up to the summit, you'll be treated to the sweeping views of the region.
You can reach the Cultural Triangle from Colombo by road. You can hire a vehicle with a private driver – this is the best option as travelling within the triangle is going to be a challenge.
Sri Lankan wildlife
Sri Lanka is known for its amazing bio-diversity; the country is home to the rarest forms of wildlife, and seeing them is an excellent way to spend your time in Sri Lanka.
You can see both migratory and endemic birds here – this rather depends on the time of the year you visit Sri Lanka. In addition to birds, monitor lizards, elephants, and leopards are some of the wildlife you can see. As you are on your honeymoon, the best place to be in would be Horton Plains; this is a prairie located in the upcountry, and it offers you the most amazing weather.
You can also visit the national parks in Sri Lanka; you'll find several national parks here including Yala National Park, Wilpattu National Park and Udawalawe National Park.
The coastline
Sri Lanka is a popular beach destination, and there's a very good reason for that.
The pristine gold sand dotted with palm trees is everything you can expect from a tropical destination. The warm waters of the sea are ideal for swimming and currents are just the right strength for water sports like surfing, diving and jet skiing. You can also try whale watching. The coastline of Sri Lanka is well-equipped with hotels, resorts, bars and restaurants.
Sri Lankan cuisine
Your experience in Sri Lanka isn't complete until you sample the local cuisine. The flavours might be a little strong for you if it's your first time trying South Asian cuisine, but you must give it a try.
