Sri Lanka is known as the Pearl of the Orient, the tropical teardrop at the toe of India. An island of natural beauty, from the swaying palm trees on the golden sandy beaches, to the rolling hills which boast dazzling waterfalls. Mixed with the colourful Buddhist temples, tropical forests and the grand ruins of the ancient cities, Sri Lanka could well be the most scenically captivating island in the world. Explore the sights, sip the finest of tea and meet the orphaned Elephants or simply choose to relax on the beach in one of the resorts, Negombo being the liveliest but there’s also plenty of peaceful and secluded resorts too.
