Sri Lanka, an island south of India crams an extraordinary variety of places to visit within its modest size. Lapped up by the Indian Ocean, the coastline is lined with idyllic – and often refreshingly undeveloped – beaches, while the mainland boasts a compelling variety of landscapes ranging from wildlife-rich lowland jungles to the misty highlands of the hills, swathed in tea plantations.
You’ll find plenty of man-made attractions too when you visit Sri Lanka. It boasts more than two thousand years of recorded history, and the remarkable achievements of the early Sinhalese civilization can still be seen in the ruined cities and great religious monuments that litter the northern plains.
The tropical island has become more of a hot-spot to keen travellers
in recent years, although tourism in Sri Lanka remains relatively low key. The
country’s wonderful individuality – evident in its contrasting landscapes and
its distinct culture, is helping to shape Sri Lanka as a top destination.
