Visiting Sri Lanka
Blessed with a bounty of dreamy beaches and an enthralling array of cultural sights, the tropical island nation of Sri Lanka offers a tantalizing mix of travel experiences. Sri Lanka sits just to the south of India, and due to its relatively modest size, can be covered a relatively short time. Here, you can be laying under a swaying palm tree, relaxing to the sounds of crashing waves one day, and admiring an ancient temple on your way to the cool breezes of the tea-plantation filled highlands the next. Throw in the colonial grandeur of cities like Galle, the kaleidoscopic spiritual traditions of Kandy, and an opportunity to take in the country’s diverse wildlife on safari - a list that includes elephants and leopards, and you have a truly special destination.
