Sri Lanka

A tropical island nation in the Indian Ocean with ancient ruined cities, highland tea plantations, wildlife and beaches.

Sri Lanka is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off South Asia, small in size but richly varied in landscape. The central highlands have Kandy, home of the Temple of the Tooth, and the tea country and mountain railway around Nuwara Eliya and Ella. The "Cultural Triangle" in the north-central region has Sigiriya, the Dambulla cave temples and ancient cities such as Anuradhapura. The south has Galle Fort and the beaches of Tangalle, while in the east Trincomalee and Arugam Bay are known for beaches and surfing, and national parks such as Yala offer elephants and leopards. Because of the monsoons, the southwest coast is best from December to April and the east coast from May to September. The main gateway is Bandaranaike International Airport near Colombo.
