The World's Heritage - Srilanka

Sri Lanka a small island with many nicknames: Serendib, Ceylon, Teardrop of India, Resplendent Isle, Island of Dharma, Pearl of the Orient. This colourful collection reveals its richness and beauty, and the intensity of the affection it evokes in its visitors. The entire island is teeming with bird life, rolling hills to escape the heat of the plains in the cool of tea plantations and exotics like elephants and leopards are not uncommon. To top it all off, the people are friendly, the food is delicious. Marco Polo considered Sri Lanka the finest island of its size in all the world, and you'll likely agree after exploring the country's fabled delights. The coastal stretch south of Colombo offers palm-lined sandy expanses as far as the eye can see. The Kandyan dances, a procession of elephants or the masked devil dances expose the culture of Sri Lanka. You'll find enough ancient and inspiring architecture in the cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa to satisfy that inner archaeologist.
