  • A Glimpse of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka was formerly known as Serendib (from which the word 'Serendipity'derives) and more recently as 'Ceylon'. Floating just off the southern coast of India this country of diverse beauty (about the size of Ireland) has rightly long been known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean. Aptly termed 'An island like no other', Sri Lanka offers a veritable feast of attractions for the visitor, among them; a myriad of cultural sights (including seven World Heritage sights), an abundance of wildlife (including leopards and an elephant orphanage), colonial architecture, cascading waterfalls, misty mountain tops, enchanting valleys, lush tea plantations and tropical rainforests. Other vital ingredients are palm-fringed, golden beaches, a tropical climate and the natural charm and hospitality of the locals.
