A delightful island - Sri Lanka boasts royal and sacred cities, cliff top citadels, colonial strongholds and virgin forests – with no fewer than seven World Heritage sites. Visit the sacred city of Anuradhapura; the archaelological sites at Polonnaruwa and cave temples of Dambulla whilst Sigiriya’s rock palace soars skywards. Enjoy close-up encounters with the elephants at Pinnewala Orphanage and sip a refreshing cup of Ceylon tea in the beautiful Hill Country. Yala National Park is home to an amazing variety of wildlife; the capital, Colombo is a lively bustling metropolis and Sri Lanka’s golden beaches were legendary before the tsunami.
