Sri Lanka - A Journey Full of Colour, Chaos, and Kindness

We spent our time exploring Sri Lanka’s Southern Province, soaking up the beauty of the south and west coast beaches, wandering the café and boutique-lined streets of historic Galle Fort, and experiencing the vibrant energy of the capital city, Colombo. We even fitted in a couple of cricket matches!

Nothing quite prepares you for Sri Lankan roads — a crazy mix of buses, scooters and the ever-present tuk-tuks, even a cow or two! And yet, it works. Each journey felt like a mini-adventure, Getting from place to place was all part of the fun.

It's an island nation that offers so much; culture, wildlife, beaches, cities and some very tasty food! The countless photos we took could never truly capture the vibrancy of this colourful country — nor the warmth and hospitality of the people we met along the way. Sri Lanka truly struck a chord, leaving behind more than just memories, I sincerely hope I’ll have the chance to return again soon

Best time to visit: Dec–Mar (South/West) or May–Sept (North/East) but welcomes visitors all year round, with varying temperatures across the island.

Getting around: A driver guide can really help you make the most of your visit, helping you discover an array of destinations. Take a train for the views and tuk-tuks for fun!

What to pack: Light clothing, sun protection, modest clothing for temples
