​​Sri Lanka Travel Guide: The Ultimate Red & Black List​​ ⚡️

​​🌟 RED LIST (Must-Do!) 🌟​​ 1️⃣ ​​Coastal Train Ride 🚂​​ The iconic ​​"Spirited Away" train​​ along the Indian Ocean—​​hang off the doors​​ for epic sea breezes! Tip: Best stretch is ​​Mount Lavinia → Colombo Fort​​ (20 mins, ~$0.50!). 2️⃣ ​​Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage 🐘​​ Feed and bathe rescued elephants! (Watch out for sneaky trunks—they love stealing your fruit! 😂) 3️⃣ ​​Stilt Fishermen 🎣​​ ​​500 LKR​​ to photograph these legendary fishermen 4️⃣ ​​Sigiriya Lion Rock 🏞️​​ Climb the ​​5th-century "Sky Palace"​​—stop halfway for the ​​ancient frescoes​​ if the summit’s too steep! ​​🌿 YELLOW LIST (Meh...) 🌿​​ 1️⃣ ​​Galle Fort 🌇​​ Pretty Dutch-colonial streets, but ​​overcrowded​​. Skip if short on time. 2️⃣ ​​Temple of the Tooth 🏯​​ Sacred? Yes. Breathtaking? No. ​​Barefoot walks on hot pavement​​ test your devotion. ​​⚠️ BLACK LIST (Avoid!) ⚠️​​ 1️⃣ ​​"Spice Gardens" 🌿​​ ​​Scam alert!​​ Overpriced oils ($10 for "magic" cinnamon oil? Nope.). 2️⃣ ​​Pink Post Office & Mosque 🕌​​ ​​Not actually pink.​​ Just a ​​dusty salmon tint​​. IG vs. reality at its worst. ​​Final Tip​​: Sri Lanka is ​​90% amazing, 10% tourist traps​​—plan wisely! ✨ #SriLankaTravel #WhatToSkip #HiddenGems #EpicAdventures
