Sri Lanka is home for 8 UNESCO world heritages sites. When considering Kandy city it is known mainly for Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, Hantana mountain range, Royal Botanical Gardens and more . As in above we can clearly see that many world heritages (8) are packed into a small area. When the whole country is taken into concern Sigiriya (8th wonder in the world), Horton plains , forest covers like Yala national park and Wilpattu national park, beaches like Nilawali, hikkaduwa, etc have been major tourist attractions. The small size of this country is the sole factor that enables any person to visit these places in a short span of time .

Unfortunately scams and aggressive touting are widespread especially in town areas along with pickpockets in crowded areas and in buses (Public transport). Though pick pockets are reported often theft in hotel rooms are reported very rarely. And also its better for a single traveler to avoid dark beaches and lonely streets at late night because there’s a chance of getting robbed or being assaulted by thugs. For tourists if they face some trouble like losing the wallet, mobile phone or something as mentioned above you can always go to the tourist police for help. Though it is not very active it’s reliable. However, its better to be safe when crossing roads and when driving as there are reckless drivers who doesn’t properly obey road rules.
