Approximately 20 million habitants are present in this country. Natural resources abound on the island, which supports a vibrant economy dependent on agriculture, fishing, mining, tourism and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this blog, I will give you some information about must-visit cities in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic are two of the city&#8217;s most famous attractions. The Esala Perahera Festival is a must-see if you&#8217;re spending your time in Kandy in July or August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

The Dutch Period Museum and the Natural History Museum would be enriching and exciting opportunities for history buffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also stop by the Turtle Conservation Villa to learn more about the importance of saving these beautiful marine creatures. The city has a diverse variety of architectural styles. Amongst them, the Murugan Hindu temple is considered to be one of the primes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sigiriya:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sigiriya-sri-lanka.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3850 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sigiriya-sri-lanka.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sigiriya-sri-lanka-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/466;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sigiriya, an ancient fortress overlooking lush forests, is located in the central Matale district. The name &#8216;Lion Rock&#8217; comes from the giant sculpted lion paws that greet visitors at the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A visit to this location will let you see King Kasyapa&#8217;s 1600-year-old Sigiriya Fortress. It was previously King Kasyapa&#8217;s private residence and is now one of Sri Lanka&#8217;s most popular tourist destinations. If you are interested in ancient sites, it will be a great tourist destination for you in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

The picture is completed by immaculate golf courses and a beautiful post office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuwara Eliya is a fascinating spot to visit because of its distinct feel and appearance; the surrounding region is home to some spectacular mountains and waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
