𝐒𝐫𝐢 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐚 / Power Colours of India

Hello Steemians...........if you are thinking of visiting Sri lanka maybe this post is helpful.

During my trip to Sri Lanka some time a go.
A wonderful country to discover.
I still have all the memories as if it were yesterday
Rated by Marco Polo as the "most beautiful island in the world", Sri Lanka is located in the southeast of India, and is called the tear of India because of its shape and proximity to India. Ceylon was the name given to it by the British during the colonial era.

Colombo

This was our intinerary:
Hikkaduwa (2 days)-Tangalle (3 days) -Yala (2 days)-Ella (2 days)- Kandy (1 day)- Habarana (2 days)- Negombo (2 days).

The infrastructure is pretty good.But the roads are quite bad and it takes a long time to travel.

Hikkaduwa

Hikkaduwa: just two hours away by car.it’s one of the best places for diving and visit the turtles.
It’s a very beautiful beach but full of people.
There are several places to sleep.But for me the best place was hondahitha villa For only $ 6 / night you have a double room, with shared bathroom, Wi-Fi and even a private balcony. Of course, although it is next to the beach, it is almost 4 kilometers from the beach where the turtles nest. The good thing is that it is 200 meters from the Kumarakanda train station, which means you can get to the beach in Hikkaduwa at every moment.
Then next day we started towards Tangalle

A child without education is like a bird without wings.

I always try to get out of the recommended itinararies.I prefer to discover places and people by myself.That’s why you may not find much tourist Information in my post.

Tangalle beach

Tangalle is located at 190 km from Colombo.
The cuisine is rich and spicy. The typical dish is the roti (a crepe) and the typical accompaniment is the coconut sambol (coconut, chilli and spices). For lovers of fruit and fruit juices, papaya juices are delicious.

From Tangalle we went to Ella Rock

Hike to Ella Rock

Ella is located in the Highlands of Sri Lanka, surrounded by mountains and tea plantations. It is a good place to rest and have an ayurveda massage or trekking. One of the biggest attractions is to travel by train from Ella to Kandy. The train takes 7 hours to make the 90 km of the route.

After being in Ella we had to visit the tea plantation in Handunugoda.

Handunugoda tea Factory

Handunugoda is the tea state.
For all tea lovers it is an essential visit
and for those who are not, they will be.
Just 1 day is enough to visit.

We have to return home but first we will make a stop in Dubai.
That will be in the next post.
