The East offers many spots for a family to escape the rat race of life. Most people head to Thailand or maybe some head to China, but here we discuss a few less on the radar spots for a family to enjoy in the East.
The beautiful country of Sri Lanka may not be as popular as Germany or Greece for vacations,
however it offers some of the most wonderful and cultural experiences in the world for family
trips. For one, the Bundala National Park is home to a plethora of glistening lagoons, shiny sand
dunes, and over 200 different species of exotic wildlife native to the area. For a more historic
and educational activity, visit Polonnaruwa to see archaeological sites of a marketplace that was
thriving over 800 years ago. Here, you’ll see a little bit of everything from ancient tombs, to
statues, and even a wild elephant park that is right nearby.

East Coast of Australia
The East Coast of Australia has so much to offer families on vacations, that it can be extremely
hard to choose which activities to do. Sydney is such a huge city on its own, and with landmarks
such as the Opera House and The Rocks down town center it could be very easy to fill up a day
just there. Another great place for everyone to enjoy is the Featherdale Wildlife Park just north
of Sydney proper, and this is where visitors can feed the kangaroos, pet a koala, and view a lot
of Australia’s other natural inhabitants. In addition to that, a drive down the Gold Coast towards
Brisbane in your very own Australian campervan is another fun thing to do on the East Coast.

Road Trip on North Island of New Zealand
New Zealand is one of the most rural and majestic places on Earth, which is why it was the
perfect filming location for the popular “Lord of the Ring” movies. The best way to see all of this
natural beauty with your family is to arrive in Auckland and drive south to visit such places like
the mud pools in Rotorua and Te Urewera National Park for some outdoor fun and exploration.
Take some time to go on a hike through the lush backdrop or rent a boat for a day on the lake to
fully appreciate the wild pristine environment.

Golden Triangle in India
A family trip to India’s Golden Triangle area will take at least 7 or 8 days to complete as it covers
the cities of Dehli, Agra, and Jaipur. While in Agra, of course you will have to visit the Taj Mahal
as it is one of the most recognized buildings in the world. The 1000 km circuit for the Golden
Triangle is on the same road and is very well traveled now, so it will be easy to redirect yourself
if you happen to get lost. Although keep in mind that each leg of the three sections take about
four to six hours of travel time, but in any case it makes for a wonderful Indian adventure. If you
fancy doing it in style, this tour operator offers luxury trips which look pretty tasty!

Tagaytay in the Philippines
Tagaytay is one of the favorite tourist spots for visitors, as they city is right on glorious Taal
Lake and the temperatures are much cooler compared to other parts of the country. It is well
worth it to spend a couple days in the area along the waterside, and take a boat across to the
Taal Volcano Island where you can walk or ride a horse up to the top of the volcano itself. This
is one of the best places to relax and see some of Asia’s most beautiful scenery.

While you were dreaming of visiting Sri Lanka’s historic Cultural Triangle, your wife was envisioning a relaxing holiday to Amanwella, a seaside resort renowned for its palm-fringed beaches and warm, rejuvenating waters.
How do you plan a holiday for your wedding anniversary when you have different visions for what that holiday should entail? It is easy; you specifically tailor your luxury holiday tour to incorporate both the Cultural Triangle and Amanwella. Who says marriage has to be about sacrifices?
The beauty of Sri Lanka is that it is small and compact, and this makes it easier to plan a tailored tour. At the same time, its diversity is legendary. There are ancient cities, jungles, beaches, exotic wildlife, rolling vistas and tea plantations all wrapped up in 65,000 km of island paradise. Sri Lanka has often been called the pearl of the Indian Ocean, and Marco Polo considered it one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
The Cultural Triangle
The Cultural Triangle is filled with numerous UNESCO sights, and you begin the day by visiting Sigirya, a 5th century rock fortress. After that, you can head up to the Hill Country. You have never considered yourself a spiritual individual. Your wife is the one who is into Yoga, organic food and a host of other New Age lifestyle choices.
However, when you see the Temple of the Sacred Tooth, which is the capital of the Hill Country, the divine impact is profound. The Sacred Tooth is one of the most spectacular treasures in the Buddhist world. You spend the rest of the afternoon in Yala National Park, where you hope to see a leopard or an elephant roaming in nature. Tomorrow, you are visiting the cave temple at Dambulla as well as visiting Polonnaruwa.
Amanwella Tangalle
Once you saw the coconut grove and the perfectly shaped crescent beach, you understood why your wife wanted to come to this part of Sri Lanka. You understood why Marco Polo loved the place too. Amanwella means “peaceful beach,” and upon seeing it you immediately understand why it was named that. However, your wife is more interested in the Ayurvedic packages that are being offered at the resort than the beach.

Conceptually, Ayurveda is a way to attain balance. It uses Yoga, herbs, diet and message to rejuvenate the main principles of the body. When you told your wife it was nothing more than a glorified spa, she shot you daggers. It does not matter. If your wife wants to attain balance and rejuvenation through an Ayurveda experience, then that is fine. Keep the wife happy. You are going to catch some sun and go for a long swim. That is how you attain balance and rejuvenation the old fashion way.
