Sri Lanka

We spent over 4 weeks in Sri Lanka in 2024 and traveled an exciting loop around the southern and central portions of the country. From Colombo, to the southern coasts, the central mountains, and finishing with a climb to the top of the incredible Sigiriya. Sri Lanka is a beautiful, diverse, and unusual country you should put on your bucket list.
