Trip to Kandy Sri Lanka
We hired a tour company to take us around the popular parts of Sri Lanka for a week. We started by heading to Kandy in the central mountain area for the first night. We saw an elephant sanctuary along the way and a traditional dance show on arrival in Kandy before settling into our room for the night. The amazing view above was from our room.

Colombo Buddhist Temples
If you pay to enter the Seema Malaka Buddhist Temple on Biera Lake, which is a must-see, then you can use your ticket to visit the nearby Gangaramaya Temple. We also visited the Aśōkārāma Temple in another part of the city which is a more typical temple. I've collected pictures of both here to compare the two.
