Back in 2021, I took a solo trip to Sri Lanka to celebrate my 30th birthday, and it turned out to be one of the best trips ever! Being so close to India, I never imagined Sri Lanka would be this gorgeous and soul-stirring. I still remember waking up at dawn to hike up Pidurangala and catch the stunning sunrise from the top. I explored the ancient sites where Buddhism first flourished and got lost in the breathtaking caves of Dambulla. The rich history of Sri Lanka left me in awe, making me realize how much we miss out on until we actually travel.
Then there were the beaches! I hopped around, savored delicious local seafood, and soaked in the colonial charm of Galle. In those 16 days, I traveled over 500 km in tuk-tuks, adding that perfect local touch to my journey.
Fast forward to 2023, and I found myself back in Sri Lanka, spending a few relaxing days in Galle. I embraced the slow life, explored boutique cafes, and soaked in the coastal vibes. Needless to say, Sri Lanka has a special place in my heart.
