Sri Lanka

The teardrop-shaped island of Sri Lanka, at the southern tip of India, is a small country with a great combination of attractions – culture, beaches and nature. Sri Lanka has no fewer than seven World Heritage Sites, including ancient cities, temples and nature reserves.

Once of huge importance to European powers because of the spice trade, vestiges of colonial control by the Portuguese, Dutch and British can also be seen around the country. Together with miles of palm fringed beaches - some of the least spoiled in Asia – and the cool highlands of the interior, Sri Lanka is highly diverse and rewarding destination.
