If you're heading to Sri Lanka, start with Colombo for a day or two to explore the city. Then head to Kandy to visit the Temple of the Tooth and the botanical gardens. Don’t miss Sigiriya for the ancient rock fortress, and go on a safari in Yala or Udawalawe for wildlife. Finish with some relaxation on the beaches of Mirissa or Unawatuna. You can squeeze in Ella if you're into hiking and cool scenery!
