Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a vibrant island of golden shores, ancient wonders, and rich culture—where every journey is a story waiting to unfold.
The name Sri Lanka means ‘resplendent land’ and the island nation truly lives up to the epithet. The capital, Colombo is a lively city and serves as the main port of Sri Lanka. It’s an interesting mix of the old and the new, both a commercial hub and a stronghold of the charms of the past. Like a gem hanging off the Indian subcontinent, this brilliant country holds far more than its size would have you believe, enough to have you coming back to it again and again. Breath-taking sands, lush green hills, teeming wildlife, mighty waterfalls, endless heritage and pilgrimage sites, it’s no wonder that Marco Polo described Sri Lanka as “the finest island of its size in the world.
