My first Destination is Negombo,its a beach sided area , i had booked my hostel in there , i arrived in hostel and the owner was really welcoming person and i payed the cash and moved to my room and its was a dormitory so i need to be with other persons i booked dormitory because in there only you can meet other nationalities and friendzone them easily, after a freshup i went to the local fish market , beaches, some other historical places, and the harbour side  Negombo is only 10kms from the airport

Day 1

What you hear the name Sri Lanka, in my mind its all about the vast beaches, sunny days, tropical forest, wildlife etc, my first visit to Sri Lanka was just an accidentally gone i had booked my tickets to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) then i realised the flight was through Colombo (Srilanka) then i decided to enter the srilanka through the internet feeds i found that if you have layover more than 4hours you can enter Srilanka free without any visa charges but you need hotel bookings and an appropriate Pre-arrival registration, then i have done those things and boarded the flight to Colombo from Kochi,
