Traveling in Sri Lanka with kids

Families That Vacation Together, Stay Together

Why is Sri Lanka lovely for kids?

Sri Lankans have particular sympathy for children, and those traveling with children will find that their presence will help to break the ice. Sri Lanka is a friendly and child-friendly place, although it lacks attractions such as amusement parks and the like. Beaches, Historic sites, National parks with Elephants can charm and keep children busy. However, due to the lack of individual facilities, exploring the country, they will have to show the same spirit of adventure and adaptation as adults. With a little preparation and attention to some practical aspects during the stay, traveling with children to Sri Lanka can be a gratifying experience.
