The south coast is one of Sri Lanka's most rewarding areas to visit. Representing the island in microcosm, the region offers gorgeous beaches, colonial towns, and superb wildlife parks, as well as a host of Buddhist shrines and temples.
Sri Lanka has managed to produce a phenomenally above normal species richness (see box story) primarily from evolutionary radiations within the island resulting in endemic genera and species and later by supplementing it by land-bridging repeatedly with the mainland.
Sri Lanka's cultural depth is recognized by UNESCO, which has declared six archaeological World Heritage Sites in the country: The sacred city of Anuradhapura. The ancient city of Polonnaruwa. The golden temple of Dambulla.
It includes exciting activities such as wildlife safaris, rock climbing, white water rafting, waterfall bathing, camping and surfing on the exotic beaches of Sri Lanka. For your comfortable stay, adventure tours in Sri Lanka include accommodation at exclusive family friendly holiday resorts.
Here is a list of Sri Lankan festivals to consider coming to the teardrop island for.
