Sounds like Kandy is a must. Hill country.

Hikkaduwa - is that the best beach to go to?

Colombo....any major things to see there? I heard most of Sri Lanka is quite quiet come evening time...any exception in Colombo?

Beyond Kandy, Hikkaduwa, and Colombo...and other must sees for Sri Lanka?

there are some decent temples, mosques and kovils to see in colombo.......

there are cricket games in colombo

the traditional market in colombo is interesting

friday night at the kovils is very interesting

i personally liked this place even though the prices are sort of high.......it is worth stopping in IMO

Here's an earlier thread on Sri Lanka.

I only flew in and out of Colombo. Hikkaduwa has quite a lengthy stretch of beach with not many people to share it with. Doublecheck when the monsoons will hit that side of Sri Lanka, though.

One interesting factoid is that cinnamon actually is originally from Sri Lanka.

I must admit it's somewhere i've always wanted to go. The people must be amazingly resilient. With the civil war, 2004 Tsunami and this years January's floods that left about 1 million people homeless.

It seems to have something for everyone whatever you tastes and cheap to boot.

I'm seriously thinking about going there sometime soon to check it out
