Hey everyone, I’m visiting Sri Lanka for the first time this April and it’s actually my first international trip as well. I land on the morning of April 3rd and my return flight is on the night of April 8th, so I have about 5–6 days. I’m a 26-year-old male travelling solo and I’m a bit confused about my itinerary. One option I’m considering is going inland and doing Colombo → Kandy → Sigiriya → Galle → Bentota, and the other option is going straight to the south coast and doing Colombo → Mirissa → Galle → Bentota → back to Colombo. Since my time is limited I’m not sure if Sigiriya and the hill country are worth the extra travel or if I should just focus on the south coast. I’m also interested in beaches and water sports, so that’s another reason I’m considering the Mirissa route. My thinking is that I might never come back again, so I want to experience the most memorable things Sri Lanka has to offer rather than rushing everywhere. I enjoy nature, beaches, scenery, local culture, water activities and maybe some nightlife as well. Would really appreciate advice on which route makes more sense for the time I have, the best way to travel between these places, and the pros and cons of both options from people who have done them. Any must-do experiences for a first timer would also help. Thanks!
