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.
