Sri Lanka is a country of diverse landscapes, rich in culture, history and incredible beauty:
‘Serendib’ was the one-time name for the ancient island of Sri Lanka – whence the word ‘serendipity’, the enviable art of chancing upon pleasant and unexpected discoveries. On the map no more than a teardrop at the tip of Southern India, Sri Lanka’s 25,000 square miles encompass a superb natural environment. The greatest lure of all for today’s visitor are the superb beaches in the south-west – ideal for an informal and easygoing holiday lifestyle rather than sophistication and luxury, and enhanced by the friendliness of the island’s smiling people.
For those drawn by the island’s beautiful interior and its 25 centuries of history a journey into the hills offers much to enjoy. Here echoes of past civilisations abound and Buddhist shrines and vast ruined palaces dot the landscape. And everywhere the eye is met by the lush vegetation of the tropics – a tapestry of sweeping tea-plantations, rugged mountains, cascading waterfalls and forests of sandalwood and mahogany.
