Why Not Backpackers
About
A local business on Sri Lanka, Why Not Backpackers is a hostel at 133 ගාලු පාර, Mirissa 81740, Sri Lanka. The address places it on the Galle road at Mirissa, on the island's southern coast.
Mirissa sits within reach of Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay, and the coastal road links the town with Galle and the capital. As a hostel, Why Not Backpackers offers budget beds to travellers moving along the south coast, and five photographs accompany the listing. Guests give the hostel an average of 4.1 out of 5 from 331 reviews, a large body of feedback for a backpacker address.
Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti as everyday dishes. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion of Sri Lanka, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, which affects travel plans and opening times across the island.
Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Pidurutalagala is the highest peak in Sri Lanka, and Adam's Peak is a pilgrimage site climbed in season, so the interior rewards anyone heading inland from Mirissa.
