Luring
travellers from across the world, the Gem of the India Ocean, travellers
experience the serene beauty of Sri Lanka. With such diverse landscapes,
planning a short trip to Sri Lanka doesn't seem right, but then we all have to
pay the bills and staying for too long can upset the pockets of many.
So what if 5 days is the maximum time you can
spare for a holiday? Fret not, today we shall discuss all the places you must
visit, eat, stay at, and shop. Now the climate of Sri Lanka along the coast
stays around 25-30 degrees whereas the average temperature reduces as you move
towards the highlands.
