Places to Visit in Sri Lanka:

Pidurangala Rock Hike (in place of Sigiriya Rock), Sigiriya
The admission fee to Pidurangala is significantly less, but the view is actually awesome. The climb is slightly more technical; sometimes we had to queue because of the narrow passages and a massive tourist stream.
Bowatte Beheth Shalawa, Kandy
A good place to purchase spices, teas, and all manner of other Sri Lankan treats for a fair price. I wouldn't suggest purchasing directly from spice gardens and tea factories.
Nine Arches Bridge, Ella
Little Adam's
Peak, Ella
A brief trek with stunning vistas of Ella. Admission is free. Same caution with tuk-tuks as at Nine Arches Bridge.
Kiri Kopi, Ella
A nice outdoor café with delicious coffee.
Diyaluma Falls Hike, wellawaya
A “wilder” and less touristy trek with stunning views. A small section is done by tuk-tuk (approximately 3000 LKR round trip) + a decent half-hour walk. You are supposed to be able to see elephants and leopards. Entrance fee to the falls is 350 LKR.
Mirissa Coconut
Tree Hill and Mirissa Beach
One of Sri Lanka's most lovely beaches. I was doubtful at first, but now I can confidently say the sites are worth a visit.
Wellabada Sea Turtles Hatchery
Sea turtle egg hatchery and rescue. Alternative to paid turtle shelters or Hikkaduwa Beach.
Donation-based.
Ventura (Bentota) Beach
A serene beach with a restaurant
