Once known by the Sanskrit name "Serendip," Sri Lanka appears as an exquisite tear-drop, torn adrift from the Indian sub-continent. And serendipitous it is, with visitors experiencing surprises at each and every turn, including ancient kingdoms, rolling tea-clad estates, stunning highland scenery and wonderful wildlife.
The shopping is legendary, with a host of bargain-priced goods on sale in bazaars, markets and shops; and the food's a rich amalgam of Indian, Portuguese and Malay - utilising the exotic spices for which Sri Lanka is famous.
Sri Lankans welcome our travellers with broad smiles and open arms, so come along and share this wonderful destination at this most propitious time.
Take wet weather gear if visiting in May, or September / October.
Sri Lanka's delightful highlands enjoy a cool climate, so don't forget that you'll need to pack some items of warm clothing (particularly for the evenings).
If you're able, why not extend your stay and take time to relax at one many delightful beach resorts.
TravelTree will be pleased to assist with such an arranagement.
