Begin your honeymoon in the bustling city of Colombo. Visit the National Museum of Colombo to discover the country's rich history, then head to Gangaramaya Temple to marvel at the intricate architecture and serene atmosphere. Don't miss indulging in some delicious Sri Lankan cuisine at Barefoot Garden Cafe or The Lagoon.
Today, take a scenic train ride from Colombo to the picturesque town of Kandy. Walk around the beautiful Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, which contains over 4000 plant species. Later, visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage site housing a sacred relic of the Buddha.
Drive to the charming hill town of Ella, famous for its stunning views and hiking trails. Start the day with a visit to the famous Nine Arch Bridge and then hike up to Ella Rock, an iconic peak that offers breathtaking views of the countryside. End the day with some delicious food at Adam's Breeze Restaurant.
If you have more time, consider visiting the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, which includes the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Sigiriya. If you have less time, you can skip either Kandy or Ella, depending on your interests. Remember to dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites, and bring comfortable shoes for hiking. Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, so be prepared for humidity and occasional rain showers. Finally, always check the opening and closing times of places to avoid disappointment.
