Sri Lanka with a tuk tuk: The Wildest Road Trip We’ve Ever Done

Asia Destinations

Strange as it may seem, Sri Lanka was never on my bucket list — mostly because it lacks the white sandy beaches of the Maldives, and partly because “everyone has been there.” But since it’s only a 2-hour flight from Mumbai and I was already in India for work, I decided to add my 54th country to the map.

In this post, I share our self-drive itinerary, tips, and what it’s really like to explore Sri Lanka by tuk tuk.

Poleg tega je večina parkov na področju Utah, Nevade in Arizone lociranih relativno blizu, zato se jih da skombinirati v res epsko potovanje po ZDA.
