Sri Lanka Holidays

Sri Lanka, like a jewel, this lush green island is a haven of palm fronds, endless sandy beaches and coastal villages along the Indian Ocean. The interior elevates to undulating hill country with clear air, fascinating tea estates and picturesque waterfalls. Ancient cities, temples and statues lie nestled within the beautiful groves of these hills.

With it's Buddhist roots stretching back to 247BC, Sri Lanka has the longest history of Buddhism in the world and boasts the classic sites of Anuradhpura, the 5th century capital of Sri Lanka, rock carvings of Isurmuniya Viharaya and the Dambulla Cave Temples. The Temple of The Tooth at Kandy and the famous Buddha figures carved out of rock at Polonnaruwa are now world heritage sites. In contrast, the golf courses at Nuwara Eliya are amongst the finest in Asia, and the sights and sounds of the local stilt fisherman and working elephants provide unforgettable memories.

All this, along with the tranquil beach resorts of the Indian Ocean, give a breathtaking sweep of holiday possibilities that few countries can match.
