Sri Lanka, a teardrop-formed island nation, captivates with its combo of

seashores, historical ruins, and lush hill stations. Surf pristine beaches or loosen up at the sunny southern coast. History buffs can delve into ancient towns like Anuradhapura, with its towering stupas and sacred ruins.

Sri Lanka's cultural tapestry is vibrant. Witness colourful Hindu and Buddhist fairs, climb mist-shrouded Sigiriya, a UNESCO-listed fortress on a rock, or visit hilltop temples like Kandy, with its sacred Tooth Relic.

Adventure awaits within the verdant hills. Hike through tea plantations, spot wildlife in country wide parks, or white-water raft down speeding rivers. Don't omit Sri Lanka's scrumptious cuisine, a unique combination of fresh seafood, fragrant curries, and tropical fruits
