Kandy is a major cultural and religious center, home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic. The province also includes Nuwara Eliya (often called “Little England” due to its colonial-era bungalows and golf courses) and Matale, known for its spice gardens.
- Eastern ProvinceThis is a highly diverse, multi-ethnic province (home to Moors, Tamils, and Sinhalese) known for its beautiful, largely untouched coastline. Trincomalee boasts one of the largest natural harbors in the world and is a hotspot for scuba diving and whale watching. The province is also home to Arugam Bay, globally recognized as one of the best surfing beaches, and features vast lagoons and ancient reservoirs.
- North Central ProvinceThis province is the cradle of Sri Lanka’s ancient civilization and the heart of the “Cultural Triangle.” It is home to the ancient capitals of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, both UNESCO World Heritage sites filled with massive stupas, ruined palaces, and giant Buddha statues. The landscape is characterized by the dry zone and hundreds of ancient, massive man-made reservoirs (called “tanks”) built by early Sinhalese kings to support agriculture.
- North Western ProvinceKnown as the “Coconut Triangle,” this province is heavily agricultural and plays a massive role in the country’s coconut and rubber production. It features a mix of dry zone landscapes and coastal areas. Puttalam, a major district within the province, is famous for its vast salt pans, limestone deposits, and the beautiful Dutch Bay and Kalpitiya peninsula, which is a premier spot for kitesurfing and dolphin watching.
- Northern ProvinceLocated at the tip of the island, this province is predominantly Tamil and has a deeply distinct culture, cuisine, and Hindu heritage compared to the rest of the country. Jaffna is known for its historic forts, lush palmyra palm trees, and delicious tropical fruits. The province features stunning lagoons, islands accessible by causeway, and a rich history that is currently seeing a resurgence in tourism after the end of the civil war.
- Sabaragamuwa ProvinceSabaragamuwa is a lush, tropical province famous for two main things: gems and Adam’s Peak. Ratnapura is literally translated to “City of Gems” and is the center of Sri Lanka’s gem mining industry (producing sapphires, rubies, and topazes). The province is also home to Sri Pada (Adam’s Peak), a towering mountain sacred to multiple religions, which draws thousands of pilgrims and hikers, especially during the pilgrimage season from December to May. It also contains parts of the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, a UNESCO-recognized biodiversity hotspot.

The province is also home to Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, which are famous for leopard and elephant sightings.
