Top 5 Unmissable Things In Sri Lanka<\/b><\/h3>\n

1. Yala National Park Safari<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Safari<\/span><\/p>\n

Home to a wide variety of species, Yala National Park is a must-visit destination during your Sri Lanka Tour. An expedition to this magnificent national park offers views of rare animals in the wild. It is also dearly loved by the locals as it is the most visited zoo in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Snorkelling with Turtles<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Snorkelling<\/p>\n

Mirissa and Hikkaduwa offer a quintessential experience of snorkelling with turtles. As humans, our interaction with aquatic animals is rare and precious to us, so this can be a memorable experience. At Turtle Point, Mirissa, the turtle sightings are not rare, which makes it a big tourist attraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Bentota River Safari<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Bentota<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bentota River is the third largest river in Sri Lanka, flowing through the south of Colombo. You can experience the natural beauty during your river safari, all the while spotting and encountering wildlife animals like crocodiles, water monkeys, and a large variety of birds. This is an adventure every adventurer must embark on!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Whale and Dolphin Watching<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Whale<\/p>\n

It is a beautiful and rare experience to encounter any wildlife animal, but to encounter, even just watch, aquatic animals up close, makes you feel like you are the chosen one. You can visit Mirissa and Trincomalee for whale watching, and you can also visit Kalpitiya to spot pods of dolphins.<\/span><\/p>\n

These places offer you an extraordinary experience of watching whales and dolphins up close in their habitat. Mirissa and Trincomalee are common spots to watch blue whales as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Lotus Tower Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Lotus<\/p>\n

Lotus Tower is a man-made structure, a proof of human creativity and a human being\u2019s ability to create beautiful things.
