Horton Plains

Horton Plains National Park is located 63 kilometers from Hatton and in the Central Highlands of the Central Province of Sri Lanka. Even though it is a little bit off from the other tour sites, visiting the park makes the drive worthwhile. Horton Plains was designated a national park in 1988, and it was also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

Since it is largely flat land, hiking in the park is somewhat easy. The trail is about 9.5 kilometers long, and you will come across the park's two main attractions. In the middle of the trail, you will find the world's end and Baker's fall. World's End is a clifftop that stretches out far beyond the surrounding plains, and on a clear day, you can even see the shore. As a licenced travel agency for many years, we recommend that you go with a guide to ensure you don't miss any details about the park.

Yala National Park

Ruhunu National Park, or as we all know it, Yala National Park, is located in the south-eastern region of Sri Lanka. It spreads over two provinces: Monaragala district in Uva province and Hambantota district in Southern province. Yala is the second-largest national park in Sri Lanka.

There are many other places to visit in Tissamaharama, but the most famous and most visited place is Yala National Park. This Yala national park consists of five main blocks.

However, you need at least 3–4 hours to cover these two areas. You can especially see leopards in these two blocks.

In here, not like in the other parks, you have to take a safari jeep for the ride. The national park provides the jeeps with soft-tops, which gives them the opportunity to view the wild life. There is best timing for the jeep safaris; normally, morning safaris start around 5.30 am and will continue for 3–4 hours, and afternoon safaris start around 2.30 pm, the same as continuing for 3–4 hours. These timings are due to the habitat of the wild animals; mostly, they are going to the seen places in the early morning hours and afternoon hours for baths, eating, drinking water, etc. And also, there are full-day safaris. It means the ride will starts around 9 am and finishes afternoon 4 or 5 pm. In there, you will be provided with lunch in the forest, where safety is paramount, and some snacks in between. All the above safaris and facilities are provided by us, Tours for Sri Lanka.

But actually, Arugam Bay is a hidden gem located on the east coast of Sri Lanka. Because it's located 6 hours, 45 minutes (387.5 km) away from the capital of Sri Lanka and other tourist attractions. At present, it has been popular due to its own enjoyably eccentric charm. However, it has managed to retain its small-town charm while gaining popularity among travelers looking to explore some offbeat destinations in Sri Lanka. Especially Arugam Bay is known to be a surfers paradise because it is the best beach in Sri Lanka for surfing. As Sri Lanka is a tropical country, the weather throughout the year is almost alike. The most pleasant season to visit Arugam Bay is during the months of May to September, when the monsoons have descended.

Mainly Indian tourists are visiting this place because it is considered a part of their country. It is a good off-beaten-path visit for 2 to 3 days, but remember you need some extra time.
