Sri Lanka, The
Island’s proud history of over 2500 years and the breathtaking diversity
of scenery will capture your heart and soul like no other destination.
May the time you spend in our Island be filled with exciting experiences
– memories of which you will carry long after you leave our shores.
The palms clasped together and a gentle
blow of the head accompanies, “Ayubowan”(may you be blessed with long
life), Sri Lanka’s gentle gesture of welcome and respect. What may
strike you the most about Sri Lanka is its amazing diversity of scenery.
It is possible to pass brilliant green paddy fields, sun-bronzed
beaches, ancient cities, lively villages, deserted regions, sanctuaries
of wildlife in tropical jungles, and hill country tea plantations
literally within hours of each other.
