The Hidden Pearl
Sri Lanka may not be the biggest country, but it sure packs a punch; what it lacks in size, it makes up for in diversity and charisma. With its unspoiled beaches, variety of wildlife, intriguing culture, world-famous tea and ancient ruins, the coined ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, teardrop-shaped island truly has something fascinating to offer everyone. The island boasts of many world wonders such as the Sinharaja Forest (World Heritage site), and the ancient city Sigiriya (8th world wonder) by UNESCO, which are unknown to most parts of the world. You can get the best chance, to see majestic elephants not only roaming free in the national parks but also up-close in the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and leading in the traditional festivals in Sri Lanka.
The Hidden Pearl
Fall in love with the teardrop-shaped tropical island of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka! Formerly known as Ceylon, dates to about 35,000 years of rich history from the first human remains, and estimates over more than 20 million of population presently. This lovely island boasts of many world wonders such as the Sinharaja Forest (World Heritage site), and the ancient city Sigiriya (8th world wonder) by UNESCO, which are unknown to most parts of the world. The visitors get the best chance, to see majestic elephants not only roaming free in the national parks but also up-close in the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and leading in the traditional festivals in Sri Lanka. Sipping a cup of tea directly from the awe-inspiring tea plantation, relaxing at the palm-fringed beaches, savoring tummy-yummy spicy dishes from a local eatery, watching the blue whales and friendly dolphins jumping off the sea are some popular activities to experience in summary. Hence, if I were you, I would make it a must-visit during my India Tour.
