Whether you want organised fun (animators, bands and shows in hotels) or the do-it-yourself fun of a village birthday party or beachside barbecue, we show you where to have fun. Sri Lanka has casinos and karaoke bars, and special events, while fun outside the city, centres around after-beach life. There are sports, especially cricket to watch, elephants to observe and even ride, rivers with white water rafting, surfing and hang gliding, bird watching and trekking. And if you fancy fun with a Sri Lankan, we give tips on etiquette, the delights and dangers. With more government-decreed holidays than any other country, Sri Lanka is dedicated to having fun.
