Food & culture
A travel guide to ශ්රී ලංකා
Sri Lanka
Ancient cities, misty tea country and the kind of coast that makes you stay a little longer.
The island, at your pace
Somewhere between misty mountains and the warm Indian Ocean lies an island small enough to cross in a day, and deep enough to fill a lifetime. Ride the train through tea country. Walk the ramparts of Galle. Let the afternoon go by.
