Trek Through Paradise: Walking Holidays In Sri Lanka

Many reports say that the original Garden of Eden was located somewhere in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka- and it isn't news to a lot of people! With its mild climate, lush plantations, beautiful beaches, picturesque slopes, amazing forests and beautiful, friendly people, it's no wonder many consider walking holidays in Sri Lanka to be a walk in paradise!
A Different World
The influence of three colonial rulers- the Portuguese, Dutch and the British- interacting with the indigenous people as well as Arab, Malay and Chinese merchants in its history, merged to create a unique culture that is still an integral part of Sri Lankan society. It is one that can easily be seen and felt on walking holidays in Sri Lanka.
The traditional skills and way of life of Sri Lanka have been very well preserved and can be observed in its customs, cuisine, architecture, art, music and crafts - even in the everyday life of Sri Lankans one encounters on walking holidays, whether trekking through the picturesque hill country, the tea plantations and more.
Pristine Beaches
Located in the blue waters of the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal, golden sands and no crowds await in Sri Lanka! With 1,300 kilometres of idyllic sandy beaches, a mild, balmy and summery climate all year round [due to two different weather systems], beach lovers on walking holidays are always assured there will always be a wonderful day at the beach any time of the year. Sri Lanka's beaches are pristine and well-preserved, with even the most developed areas able to evoke the feeling of being alone in paradise.
Whether you prefer calm waters for swimming, crystal-blue seas to dive to see brightly coloured tropical fish among the corals, or steady waves to surf, there are many choices of beach in Sri Lanka to suit your budget and taste for action.
Gardens, Paddies, and Plantations
Picturesque paddy fields and lush tea plantations in the scenic hill country make for great views on hiking paths, especially for those who wish for a mild moderate level of activity on their walking holidays. In a fragrant and idyllic setting, you can watch villagers go about their daily activities - it's a unique peek at timeless Sri Lanka. By the way, tea isn't the only kind of plantation to look forward to -cinnamon plantations also make for a unique sensory experience.
Forests, Forests, and Forests
True nature-lovers shouldn't miss the beauty of Sri Lanka hidden from the average tourist: its forests. Whether walking through the rainforests, the Eucalyptus forests, pine forests or the so-called "natural forest", you can look forward to amazing views all around.
