Welcome to WHY SRI LANKA, a travel blog born out of my deep love for a country I know inside and out.

I am Roshan Uyanwatte, born and raised in the heart of Sri Lanka—Kandy. I currently divide my time between the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka, giving me a unique perspective on travel and culture from both East and West.

I’ve travelled extensively—across Australia, India, Thailand, and much of Europe including Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, and the UK (England, Wales, and Scotland). While I’ve seen some of the most stunning destinations in the world, nothing compares to the rich diversity, deep history, and breathtaking beauty of my homeland—Sri Lanka.

I’ve explored every corner of this island—from ancient cities to lush tea estates, golden beaches to sacred mountains—and I’m here to share it all with you. This blog is your guide to WHY SRI LANKA should be your next destination: what to see, where to go, what to experience, and how to connect with its people and culture—straight from someone who has lived it.

Let’s explore Sri Lanka, through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
