      Hey Ruth. Glad it helped! I spent most of my time at the beach, surfing in a little village called Midigama and loved it there. I also enjoyed hiking in Ella, and the train journey between Ella and Kandy was stunning. Adam’s Peak at sunrise is a hard climb but totally worth it for the views, and Pidurangala is great for the view of Sigiriya. I also did that one at sunrise. Hope you have an amazing time!

    Do you have any advice about traveling with a surfboard. Shortboard or longboard. Can you get a board onto a train or a bus?

      Hey Justin. I travelled with my board (6’8) on the train and while it wasn’t the easiest thing I’ve ever done, it is doable. If the train isn’t packed (which is rare), the best thing to do is to put it up on the luggage rack, but you might end up standing with it at the end of the carriage. The bus is trickier. They get super packed so while you might be lucky, I wouldn’t rely on being able to take a shortboard on, and definitely not a longboard. Hope that helps!

    Hey there. Love how concise you were here.

    My question, though, is how much money do you think would be enough for a guy like me who has no real plans to sightsee, although I’d like to visit the ruins. I’m thinking 10 days worth of a stay.
    I just want to hop in a plane and land in Sri Lanka.. Would 1000 USD be enough?

      Thanks Saim! Is that 1000 USD with or without the flight? If it’s without, you’d be more than comfortable. Depending on how budget you want to go and where you stay, on the low end you can get accommodation from around 16 USD a night for a private room, and it’s possible to eat for around 2-3 USD per meal. Buses and trains are also super cheap for travelling around. Hope that helps 🙂
