Sri Lanka, dubbed the ruby of the Indian Ocean, is a seaside paradise nestling at the foot of lush mountains. In amongst its temples and tea plantations, there are relics of a colonial age and breath-taking traditions.
Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, is a country which offers all that is best in a tropical destination: magnificent beaches of fine sand, mountainous regions scattered with tea plantations, countless Buddhist sites, fine colonial remains, a rich and accessible wildlife, living craft traditions and the legendary hospitality of its inhabitants.
