Sri Lanka has a diverse compilation of landscapes, climates and natural features. Despite being a relatively small island, its infamous beaches have been enticing visitors for many years. The rest of the island, however, harbours many more idyllic vistas.
The central highlands are carpeted with emerald tea plantations interspersed with occasional waterfalls. Cool climates, misty views, and quaint estate bungalows are a throwback to bygone eras.
The cultural triangle in the centre of the island holds a certain magic, with ruins from several ancient kingdoms, majestic tanks, hidden rock caves, and ancient sacred temples, revealing the fascinating and almost unbelievable ancient architecture, art, and engineering.
The north of Sri Lanka is a vibrant concoction of essences, with a unique flavour and culture. The east of the island is home to lush paddy fields, spectacular sunrises, and a quieter more rural pace of life. Colourful places of worship, national parks, ports and harbours, and pristine clear waters offer a smooth travelling experience.
With nearly 1,600 kilometres of palm-fringed coastline surrounding the country, this is an ideal destination for beach lovers. Even water sports are in abundance including windsurfing, kayaking, yachting, water skiing, scuba diving or jut lazing around for the perfect tan.
There is a rich history expanding over 3,000 years. Once such place is Sigiriya or Sinhagiri, an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. Here’s an opportunity to book one (or more) of these special packages.
