Check out the best beaches at the best times of year.

One day Northern Sri Lanka may have tourist trails, backpacker hostels and smoothie shops like the south. For now, the region is as wild and unexplored as it gets.

If you’re an adventurous type, look no further than this teardrop-shaped island. The ‘what to do in Sri Lanka’ list is endless. 

While the lion isn’t much more than a majestic myth, another magnificent big cat prowls Sri Lanka – the leopard.

Say yes to breakfast hoppers. Every time.

Few places can boast such a range of stunning beaches, world class surf, spectacular train rides, delicious cuisine and highland hiking through tea plantations.
