Fans of the outdoors and of walking will be enchanted by Sri Lanka which has one of the biggest diversities in the world in terms of preserved natural spaces. From the top of a mountain peak reaching over 2000 metres high to the wild plains covered in jungle, go off to explore in the heart of the country's national parks.<br>

Sri Lanka’s Natural Paradise

Ella is one of the most charming mountain stopovers in Sri Lanka. Not so much the village itself as its surroundings. Ella has one main road where you find most of the village's activities. In less than 10 minutes you are in the heart of Sri Lanka's mountains, surrounded by nature and in the middle of the tea plantations.

Whether you are passionate about history or nature you can't help but be charmed by Sigiriya and its surroundings. You'll climb back into time and history as you climb the steps of the Lion Rock. At the end of the day, enjoy the sunset over the magnificent countryside of the plains.

Sigiriya’s Lion Rock

A lots less busy than the beaches in the south, the east coast of Sri Lanka guarantees you a stay off the beaten path. Long beaches that are almost empty most of the year, and an island where you can swim with sharks.

With its arid, deserted landscapes and its large water holes located next to the roads, around which herds of buffalo and elephant gather to drink, Uda Walawe is a dream destination for safari enthusiasts.

<div align="justify">The scenery at <strong>Uda Walaw</strong> differs entirely from what I saw in the rest of the country. This aspect alone makes a visit to this park a unique experience when  <a href="/sri-lanka/">touring Sri Lanka</a>. It's easy to organise a half-day trip to Uda Walawe from any of the cities in the South. </div> <div align="justify"> <br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div> <div align="justify">I felt a certain apprehension upon arriving at <strong>Uda Walawe</strong> in the early morning, in a jeep specially equipped for touring the park. Seeing so many vehicles filled with tourists and ready to set off at the park entrance made me feel a little worried. Very quickly, however, the jeeps all headed off in different directions and we were then on our own in the park.</div> <div align="justify"> <br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div> <div align="justify">One thing is certain: Uda Walawe National Park delivers what it promises. Those who like seeing plants and wildlife won't be disappointed. Don't have any hesitation in talking with the accompanying guides: they are usually very knowledgeable about the park.</div>
