Plenty to see while teaching English in Sri Lanka

When enjoying time outside of the classroom, those teaching English in Sri Lanka may want to pay a visit to the Yala national park, which is home to some wonderful wildlife, it has been claimed.

Nabeel Shariff, UK and Ireland marketing manager for Sri Lanka Tourism, states that visitors will see wonderful creatures – such as leopards – along with examples of the country’s history by going out and exploring.

A visit to the Temple of the Tooth and the plantations of the hill country are a must, he says, adding that there are many remnants of British colonialism which provide a unique feeling of nostalgia.

After this, those teaching English in Sri Lanka should explore more before heading back home, Mr Nabeel states.

"Detour via Yala national park, home to the highest density of leopards in the world and journey back to the capital along the south coast road, passing Galle and its Dutch fortification," he says.

According to Lonely Planet, a visit to Dambulla is a must, with the area home to a selection of cave temples.
