My trip to Sri Lanka, I went directly to Mt. Lavini. It is only about 1/2 hour drive from the Colombo Airport. I stayed here 3 nights, just to relax and unwind. I heard this place was paradise, so I had to check it out, and it really is. The beaches were just beautiful. I seen some things locally in the Mt. Lavini area, but my intentions mainly was to just unwind after briefly touring through 3 other countries prior to coming to Mt. Lavini, so I really need the rest, and what a perfect place to do just that. The people were so friendly and the food was so good.
Sri Lankan food is spicy, if you like spicy, then you will love their food. Majority of the religion is Buddhist and is based on Buddhist culture. Also, like India, Sri Lanka too boasts a great history of lots of ancient great temples and shrines.
Sri Lanka is paradise with long, clean, golden beaches; stunningly clear water. It was an incredible feeling having my meals served right on the beach. The sounds and sights of the ocean accompanying each meal was unforgettable. Long walks on the beach, enjoying some fabulous food, and just taking in the beauty of this gorgeous island, I felt so peaceful and relax, totally fantastic time.
