gavin martin Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi All I'm off to Sri Lanka in a couple of weeks, staying in Bentota for a week. Has anyone been there before? Any recommendations of some good spots to visit whilst there? Found any great mountain views or ancient temples that should not be missed? Thanks Gavin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Taylor Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Make sure you climb Adams Peak, the view at dawn is spectacular. For beaches I prefer Trincomolee, which you can now visit since the ceasefire. I didn't do too many temples, but I checked out Sigiriya, which was worthwhile.

atacama02 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Sigiriya is definitely worth a visit if you can, it sort of combines both mountain views and ancient temples/city. For temples, the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy is an extremely important Bhuddist site and quite interesting to visit. The Dambulla sanctuary site is really quite impressive with literally hundreds of carved Budda's inside several caves-well worth a trip.Adam's peak is supposed to be fantastic for mountain views. Happy shooting! Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
