Sri Lanka

A small island with a great deal packed into it: the ruined capitals at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, tea country around Ella and Nuwara Eliya, and leopards in Yala. Distances are short enough that a fortnight covers the highlands, the ancient cities and a stretch of coast without ever feeling rushed.

Sri Lanka is an island off the southeast coast of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is separated from India by the Indian Ocean, in which lies the chain of islands called Adam’s Bridge.

Sri Lanka is famous for ancient Buddhist sites which includes Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Dambulla, Panduwasnuwara and Yapahuwa. All these places contain the remains of a great civilization which grew through the centuries under the influence of Buddhism, a gentle faith still preserved in Sri Lanka in its purest form.

The Sri Lankan Standard foods are spicy and it is advised to approach curries with caution. There are many vegetables, fruits, meats and sea foods. Continental, Chinese, Indian and Japanese menus are available in Colombo and other touristic places . A specialty is basic curry, made with coconut milk, sliced onion, green chilli, aromatic spices such as cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and saffron and aromatic leaves.
