When you first time visit Sri lanka
โ Riding the Little Train ๐ ๐ Coastal Train Line (GalleโColombo) โจ Friends who have seen "Spirited Away" might remember the "sea train" scene. It is said that the inspiration for the "sea train" comes from Sri Lanka's coastal train line ๐. The train doesn't actually run on the sea, but because there is a section of the track close to the ocean, it creates such a dreamy and beautiful view! ๐ Tea Country Train Line (KandyโNuwara EliyaโElla) โจ In addition to the seaside, Sri Lanka also has a train route that passes through rolling tea hills, with equally stunning scenery ๐. The section from Nuwara Eliya to Ella is the essence, as the train winds through high mountains and tea plantations, offering a pleasing green vista ๐ณ. โ Wildlife Watching ๐ โจ Sri Lanka is home to Sri Lankan leopards ๐, elephants ๐, macaques, and various species of birds ๐ฆ. With 13 national parks and 52 nature reserves, it is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. In addition to the popular Yala National Park mentioned in the previous note, there are many other national parks where you can observe wildlife. Here are a few more options for you to choose from based on your itinerary ๐๐ป: ๐ Minneriya National Park ๐ Wilpattu National Park ๐ Kumana National Park โ Cultural Exploration ๐ ๐ Ruwanweliseya Stupa โจ Located in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, one of the "Cultural Triangles," this pure white stupa is a landmark of the area. It looks very beautiful, magnificent, and sacred from afar! It attracts a large number of pilgrims and visitors, and you need to remove your shoes to enter. ๐ Sri Maha Bodhi Tree Temple โจ Also in the ancient city of Ruwanweliseya, just over 500 meters away from Ruwanweliseya, the temple is built for the sacred Bodhi tree within. This tree is the oldest human-planted tree in the world, with a history of over 2200 years, and it is Sri Lanka's second national treasure after the Buddha's tooth relic ๐ฆท. #SriLanka #SriLankaTravel #SriLankaTourism #SriLankaTravelGuide# Minneriya National Park#Wilpattu National Park# Kumana National Park#trip diary #travel guide#kandy
