Adventure Sports to include in Sri Lanka holiday packages

Here are some of the sports you can find in Sri Lanka tour packages with Akbar holidays

Trekking and Hiking

The highlands of Sri Lanka, with its pristine rainforests, sacred mountains, lush tea gardens, and plains teeming with unique birds and insects, make for an excellent environment for an outstanding walking trip. These features are combined with pleasant temperatures and the warm smiles of the locals.

Diving

In Sri Lanka offers one of the best diving experiences in the world thanks to its location on the Indian Ocean, which is home to several unique fish species, coral gardens, and historic wrecks. The favorite dive sites in Sri Lanka are the vibrant coral gardens along the southern coasts, the old and new shipwrecks near Galle Harbor, and the little and great bass. However, the eastern and western coasts of Kalpitiya, Ampara, and Trincomalee offer uncommon opportunities for wreck diving, skin diving, and diving with dolphins.

Deep Sea Fishing

Sri Lanka is the undiscovered heaven for serious fishermen, being encircled by the Indian Ocean and having an abundance of freshwater reservoirs inland. The seas surrounding Sri Lanka are among the most difficult places to fish for the marine game, with a shoreline of 1,140 miles and a continental shelf covering 10,000 square miles. Sporting anglers have yet to fully explore the country's many estuaries, lagoons, and coastal lakes, as well as the outfalls of 103 major river basins.

Rock Climbing

When you conquer Sri Lanka's mountains, you can feel the excitement of the ground expanding beneath you, dizzying heights, and collapsing rocks beneath your feet. Climbers of all skill levels will find the mountain ranges surrounding SriLanka's highlands, such as the Knuckles, Ella, Habarana, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Horton Plains, and Buttala, to be demanding. The newest experience in waterfall climbing includes thrilling excursions up the rock face of the tallest waterfall in the nation, Bambarakanda.

Hot air balloons

Explore Sri Lanka's sky while taking in the sights and signals from above. freely cruise over treetops, wildlife, lakes, rivers, cultural sites, neighborhood urban homesteads, and landmarks like Sigiriya Rock while floating at average heights of

500 to 2000 feet. The sunrise rides are available early in the morning to complement the sights and sound with the enchanting experience of dawn.

Whales watching

The gentle giants and the entertainers of the ocean live in the waters surrounding Sri Lanka. Throughout the months of December, January, February, March, and April, dolphins and whales perform at various locations all across Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is in a unique position to see the migration of 26 species of cetaceans, including blue whales, sperm whales, pilot whales, fin whales, and a wide variety of dolphins, because it is situated on or near their migration routes.

Places to visit on your Sri Lanka Trip

If what places to visit in Sri Lanka is your question then you don’t need to worry about it. As Akbar Holidays answers this question for you

Listed are the places you must definitely have in your Sri Lanka holiday package

Yala National Park

Around Yala, there are three wildlife sanctuaries and six national parks. National Park Lunugamvehera is one of the biggest. The northeast monsoon is when the park receives the majority of its rainfall because it is located in a dry, semi-arid climate region. Yala is home to a variety of ecosystems, including freshwater and marine wetlands as well as moist monsoon forests. It is one of Sri Lanka's 70 Important Bird Areas (IBAs). Six Sri Lankan indigenous bird species are among the 215 bird species found in Yala. The park features 44 mammals that have been identified, and it boasts one of the greatest numbers of leopards in the world.

Several ancient civilizations have lived in the Yala region. Sithulpahuwa and Magul, two significant pilgrimages are located within the park

Sigiriya

There are 169 kilometers between Colombo and Anuradhapura or Polonnaruwa. In 1982, Sigiriya was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sigiriya is well-known for its palace ruins, which are perched atop a towering 200-meter-high rock and are encircled by the remnants of a vast network of gardens, reservoirs, and other buildings.

The actual rock is a lava plug from a long-extinct old volcano. It is famed for its ancient frescoes, which are comparable to those found in India's Ajanta Caves. However, it is generally acknowledged that the Sigiriya Frescoes show a distinctively Sri Lankan style. Prehistoric times may have seen habitation at Sigiriya.

Beginning in the fifth century BC, it served as a rock-shelter mountain monastery, with caves prepared and donated by followers of the Buddhist Sangha. The Sigiriya Museum exhibits images of the site's excavation, copies of the frescoes, illustrations, and translations of some of the graffiti on the Mirror Wall, and artifacts found there. In roughly an hour, you can probably see the entire museum. Because the museum is outside the front door,

Watching whales

When you go on a whale/dolphin viewing tour of the Southern, Eastern, or West coast of Sri Lanka, the ever-smiling, mischievous dolphins will put on a show while some of the oldest and largest marine creatures, the humpback and the blue whales, will casually glide past you. Dondra Point, which is reachable from Galle, Hikkaduwa, Mirissa, and Trincomalee are the best places to see whales, while the waters off Kalpitiya are teeming with dolphins.

Whale watching at Mirissa will be safer this season thanks to the Sri Lanka Coast Guard.

The Sri Lanka Coast Guards have heightened their vigilance in observing the application of the Sea Mammals Observation, Regulation, and Control Regulations since the Mirissa whale viewing season is in full swing and numerous local and foreign tourists are congregating in the Mirissa harbour.Members of the Rohana Coast Guard post had been observing whale and dolphin watching operations in Mirissa since last year to make sure that boat operators and passengers engaging in whale watching abided by the Regulations. The coast guards also ensure that passengers, crew members, and boat operators follow all safety procedures and laws both before and after their observation tour.

Places to visit on your Sri Lanka Trip from India

• Munneshwaram Temple

One of Sri Lanka's and the Rameswaram islands' five principal Shiva temples is the Munneshwaram Kovil, which is adjacent to Chilaw. known as Ishvarams. The temple is located where, according to a Tamil tradition, King Rama prayed to Shiva after committing the most serious offence against Hindu law—killing a priest, or Brahmahast—because Ravana, who Rama had to murder to free Sita, belonged to the Brahmin caste. Due to his perception that the Doshana sin was not pursuing him at this location, Rama stopped the Vimana vehicle at Munneswaram. He then left the vimana and prayed to God Shiva, pleading for a solution. Rama was advised by Shiva to erect four lingams at the Manavari, Trinco, Mannar, and Rameswaram for this purpose

• Manavari Temple

After committing Brahmincide by slaying the Brahmin King Ravana, Lord Rama initially constructed a Lingam in Manavari, about 6 km north of Chilaw, as an atonement to Lord Shiva. Because Lord Rama created this Shiva Lingam in Manavari, it is known as the Ramalingam. Only two Lingams in the entire globe bear the name of Lord Rama; the other is located in Rameswaram, India. Go to Dambulla now.

• Thirukonneshwaram

A beautiful temple called Thirukonneshwaram can be found in Trincomalee on a rocky outcropping. Lord Shiva, who was moved by King Ravana's devotion, gave Rishi Agastya the order to construct it. The Lord constructed a temple for his followers as payment for his devotion, making this location special in this regard. It is said that Lord Rama prayed here as well in order to remove the Brahmahathi Dosham, or curse, associated with killing Ravana because he was a Brahmin. The renowned temple built here during the illustrious period of the Tamil Pallava, Chola, and Pandya empires was destroyed between 1622 and 1624 by intolerant Portuguese Christians.

• Sri Shankari Devi Shakthi Peedam

There is another shrine next to the well-known Koneswaram temple in

Trincomalee;

• Kanniyai:

Only around 10 miles from Trincomalee town, the hot wells of Kanniyai or Kanniya are adjacent to the main route to Anuradhapura. The healing abilities of pilgrims are revered. There are numerous myths that explain how these therapeutic hot water wells came to be, and the majority of them include Ravana. One legend regarding

According to the legend of Kanniya, this is the location where King Ravana performed the funeral rites for his mother. When he couldn't get water to properly carry out the rites, he became enraged and drove his Trishula seven times into the earth. Water quickly began to pour out. When Ravana's rage subsided, the extremely hot water cooled to the current level. Each of the seven wells has a different water temperature.
