We explored many option for our honeymoon it had to relaxing as well as fun ... after lot of research finally we decided to go to the ’teardrop island’, Sri Lanka.
And we thank our stars that we did ... its a amazing place which meets all your expectations ... amazing beeches, cloudy mountain hills, good shopping ... you can also explore the wild life, go to the elephant orphanage, go to ayurvedic garden & try some ayurvedic massage, go to the tea factory and garden or explore the gem making or wood factories.
They take tourism really seriously, treats you like a true guest. They also take lot of proud in their culture and teaches you about it, with no glaring objective to sell you something.
