About a half hour drive by taxi from the airport in Colombo. Negombo is a long road with restaurants and hotels. There is lot being built and it\u2019s not the prettiest route. But it\u2019s lovely to relax for three days at the edge of the pool of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/lk\/ronny-cottage.en.html?aid=1421760&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;group_children=2&amp;room1=A%2CA%2C12%2C12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hotel Ronny Cottage<\/a>.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>From here we take a taxi inland and after a 2-hour drive, we end up at the train station Veyangoda. Without a care in the world we sit here and wait for half an hour until the train arrives for Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka. While we get on the train, we soon notice we are not the only ones wanting to go to Kandy. It turns out to be a national holiday and the half of Sri Lanka is on their way to the capital. The train is packed! Not like morning rush hour with the NS but really, really packed!! We are in the middle portal with our three large travel bags, buggy, three little kids and 15 other Sri Lankan people. We can\u2019t move an inch. It\u2019s rather impressive too, especially for the kids. Although they seem more concerned by the fact that the train doesn\u2019t have any doors so we could easily fall out.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Luckily, some people get out on the way, so we get to sit for the last 2 hours of the 4-hour journey. Without air-conditioning that is to say, and still rather packed. Meanwhile we are being served by Sri Lankan people that are trying to sell us their local delicatessens. We kindly decline.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-912d6d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"912d6d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Route for a round trip through Sri Lanka with kids: we are in Kandy<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1542ee56 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1542ee56\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In Kandy, our \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/lk\/the-pinnacles-fine-accomodation.en.html?aid=1421760&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;group_children=2&amp;room1=A%2CA%2C12%2C12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hotel<\/a>\u00a0is a 20 minute drive from the center of town. It lies against a hill and has a nice pool for the kids. From here, we take a tuk-tuk the next day and visit the temple with \u201cthe tooth\u201d. Fun to see, but it\u2019s not as impressive in comparison to the temples of Thailand or Bali. The kids get to offer some flower pedals and love to see daddy cross the street in a sarong.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We visit the Botanical Gardens too. Our expectations are not that high for this park but as soon as we walk in we are pleasantly surprised. It\u2019s stunning! You can see all kinds of palm trees and tropical plants here. It\u2019s rather large too and nice and cool to relax in after our long trip through Kandy. The Botanical Gardens is really recommended in the afternoon, especially with little kids. A lot of locals like visiting the park too, which is a fun sight to see.<\/p><p>Kandy is located beautifully in the hills, but we find it rather busy because of

For the first 3 hours we grab a taxi and take the train for the last part. The landscape we pass through is beautiful. Very green and hilly. Ella is sight for sore eyes after visiting Kandy. It\u2019s a small village, lying in the mountains with nothing but nice little restaurants, and little hotels. Although, everything is there for the foreign traveler. But we do enjoy our western hamburgers and pizza that they serve here.<\/p><p>In the first restaurant we have dinner, we meet a very nice boy that serves us. He offers to take us on a tour of the area the next day. He picks us up in his tiny car in the morning at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/lk\/ella-gap-view-resort.en.html?aid=1421760&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;group_children=2&amp;room1=A%2CA%2C12%2C12\">hotel<\/a> and takes us to a tea plantation first. Fun to see, although the factory where they usually dry the tea isn\u2019t working this day. But the tour we get from the manager is so entertaining, we are happy we didn\u2019t miss this one.<\/p><p>The view from the factory is amazing too, the boy brings us to an old bridge after this and finally to his house. There, his wife and mother in law make us a lunch while our kids are surprised by the fact that their little boy of 4 years old is riding a pink bike. We explain to them that the little boy is happy he even has a bike and the color doesn\u2019t really matter here in Sri Lanka. The boy doesn\u2019t have any other toys but does have something our kids don\u2019t. It\u2019s a little calf of not even a week old. He is very proud of it and our girls hang around it curious.<\/p><p>The experience of having lunch with these people is just fantastic, the people are so hospitable to just invite us into their home. He could have just dropped us at a restaurant, but he didn\u2019t, very special!<\/p><p>When we are in Ella, he does ask us to let us out 100 meters before we reach the restaurant where he works. He doesn\u2019t want his boss to know he is doing any odd jobs. And we don\u2019t want to cause him any trouble of course so we get out and walk the last 100 meters to our hotel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-976ab33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"976ab33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Little Adams Peak<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53497dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53497dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On day 2 in Ella we do \u201cLittle Adams Peak\u201d.

We walk up there very relaxed and see all kinds of lizards and squirrels on our way. When we reach the top, we have a beautiful view over the mountains. Very beautiful indeed and a perfect trip with kids. Altogether, with a large stop on the way, the hike takes us an hour and a half or two hours.

It\u2019s incredibly hot, about 40 degrees, but it\u2019s very doable in the shadow. Arugam Bay has the surf vibe we are looking for.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Right in front of our door, the waves just roll in and on the other side of the bay they have baby-beach. There they have little waves and we teach our girls to grab their first waves. In Arugam Bay we enjoy our holiday to the fullest; palm trees, surf, BBQ on the beach and lots of fruit shakes. The girls follow a yoga class and on our sixth day of our stay here we go on safari to Kumana Park. This is a lot less touristy than Yala according to the booklets. In Kumana we see elephants, crocodiles, buffalos, peacocks, monkeys and lots of different birds. A beautiful place and certainly worth the trouble on your round trip through Sri Lanka with kids!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e708c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"85e708c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-10293 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-mobileslider'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"85e708c\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Ama\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODk4NCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2tpZHNsb3ZldHJhdmVsLm5sXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDE5XC8wMlwvQW1hLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6Ijg1ZTcwOGMifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ama.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"933\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ama.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobileslider size-mobileslider\" alt=\"Route voor een rondreis door Sri Lanka\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ama.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ama-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"85e708c\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Ara1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODk4NiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2tpZHNsb3ZldHJhdmVsLm5sXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDE5XC8wMlwvQXJhMS5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiI4NWU3MDhjIn0%3D\" href='https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ara1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"933\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ara1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobileslider size-mobileslider\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Sri Lanka with kids\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ara1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ara1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46286558 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46286558\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Route for a round trip through Sri Lanka with kids: more beach on Hirikiteya Beach<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70a933c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70a933c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After Arugam Bay, we move south and visit the more hidden pearl of Sri Lanka, which is Hiriketiya Beach.
