DESTINATIONS

Fondly known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Serendib or Ceylon, Sri Lanka has always held its spotlight amongst seafarers and traders since ancient times. From precious commodities to natural harbours, from golden beaches to bewitching inlands the island was favoured by many as the heart of tropical splendour.

Keeping up with its name, the paradise isle today is amongst the most sought after travel destinations in Asia. The geographical multiplicity and the amiable climate has created an island that offers a diverse experience. Start from the beach and drive inland through forested dry plains, intermediate woodlands into the alpine mountains, all within a few hours. Green and sunny year around, the island temperatures vary from scorching hot to a soothing chill as you roam through the distinct climate zones.

The diversity does not stop at nature. Dotted with more than a few ethnic groups, an assortment of cultures, festivities, traditions and customs, Sri Lanka is somewhat of a rare tapestry that entwine magnificence and splendour in vivid colours.

Just as we adore the versatility of our country we appreciate the diverseness of our visitor. If you prefer languid days, a state of quiet inertia and cosy weather, the tea country is the place to be. The jade mountains covered in mist and saplings veil many a story waiting to be heard. However, if you prefer sunshine, beasts and wilderness, walk into the Deep South with us. Spend time blending in and bonding with nature and its marvellous creations. The isle claims six UNESCO World Heritage sites enduring time for the one who loves remnants of a distant past. If crumbling walls, moats, castles and monasteries are what you relish in, there are fragments of past spattered all over the island to wander as you wonder.
