Pictured above: Leopards of Wilpattu have all that feline superiority inherent to their kind. It is an indigenous species - Panthera pardus kotiya
or Yala national park;
The southern cousin of the kitty cat pictured above, Yala, Sri Lanka
and Kumana Bird Sanctuary;
and Sinharaja Rain Forest;
or Horton Planes, or Knuckles Range;
Moose in Horton plane doesn’t care for leopards from lowlands
and a lot of other places.
If you are a history-buff like me, then I suggest Anuradhapura ancient citadels;
Sigiriya rock fortress;
and Polonnaruwa, Yapahuwa, Panduwasnuwara, Kandy, Gampola, Dambadeniya and so many other places with ruins of people who had once dreamed of us in their wildest of dreams and stone inscriptions they’ve left behind and the ancient art;
If you love beaches with foamy waves breaking on fine sands, well, Sri Lanka is an island and offers you a whole lot of places to choose from;
Nilaveli, Trincomalee
Hikkaduwa
Kalpitiya
Casuarina Beach, Jaffna
There are also religious places of importance to both Buddhists and Hindu communities;
Temple of Tooth Relic, Kandy
Katharagama, where god Velan met his future bride
and the literal paradise; Adam’s peak
