Sri Lanka History

visit the dutch fort its like a trip in the history

Mt Lavinia is one of the best Hotels I have ever stayed. It has got 200 years of history. Excellent colonial beach hotel. The ambience make you feel pampered. We got the room in ground floor just beside the roaring sea shore. It was most exciting part of our stay.

4th day morning we got early in the morning and visited beach which was near to our room. There is a direct entry through a small gate. That part of beach was very ugly. But in the evening we asked the room boy who took us to an excellent place, which was private beach for Mt. Lavinia. It was as if we were in some dream. Only two of us were there and the breeze and sunset was great. It was very cloudy that evening and could not watch very good sunset. However we enjoyed.

Sigiriya mountain palace is a beautiful monument showing the old Sri lankan history. Be prepared to climb 1202 steps to the top of the mountain. The mirror wall and women paintings halway up are a real treasure. The countryside is green and bountiful. We had a wonderful time there.
