Gap Year Sri Lanka

A gap year in Sri Lanka is a choice often overlooked by many travellers, which is a great shame as it’s a country with so much to offer. One of the advantages of a Sri Lanka gap year is that it’s a relatively small country – making it a good country for gap year travel. For many people the biggest attraction of a Sri Lanka gap year is its wealth of superb tropical beaches. However there are plenty of other highlights away from the coast to enjoy with gap year travel in Sri Lanka. Other ‘must visit’ places on a gap year in Sri Lanka include the picturesque lake-side city of Kandy, Pinnawella elephant orphanage and Uda Walawe National Park.

Sri Lanka was one of the countries most affected by the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami - and Real Gap’s Sri Lanka gap year programmes include an opportunity to assist with re-building homes destroyed by the tsunami. This is a rewarding Sri Lanka gap year option giving you the chance to do some worthwhile volunteer work abroad on your Sri Lanka gap year.
