Welcome to Sri Lanka – an island where the air is rich with the scent of spices, the landscapes shift like magic, and every step is a new adventure waiting to unfold. This isn’t just a holiday spot. It’s a living, breathing postcard of wild jungles, golden beaches, ancient cities and some of the friendliest people on the planet.
As The Walking Critic, I’ve wandered far and wide across this soulful little island—from the lush hill country and tea plantations of Ella, to the crumbling fort walls of Galle and the surf-washed shores of the south. I’ve shared street food with locals in Colombo, taken slow trains through emerald-green valleys, and lost count of the unforgettable curries bursting with cinnamon, cardamom and chilli heat.
This place moves you—sometimes literally, in a tuk-tuk with no brakes, but always with a smile. It’s vibrant. It’s spiritual. It’s spicy in every sense of the word.
Expect wandering elephants, ancient temples, jungle hikes, Ayurvedic treatments, and sunsets that leave you speechless. And of course, expect to eat like royalty—whether you’re dining at a seaside resort or tucking into a rice and curry combo from a roadside stall.
So, lace up your walking shoes, clear your tastebuds, and follow me into the heart of Sri Lanka. This is travel that stirs the soul—with a little extra heat.
Let’s go walk it. Together.
