All of this while indulging in the mouth-watering authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and experiencing the true friendly local hospitality will leave you with a lasting impression of Sri Lanka.
There are many good reasons for visiting Sri Lanka: The Turquoise water, palm trees gently swaying in the breeze, pleasant temperatures and an enchanting, lavish landscape, and most of all the hospitality of the population, which visitors will sense as soon as they set foot on the island. The Smile with which people are welcomed here is warm; it does not come across as fake.
Sri Lanka also has a great history, which goes back to the time before Christ. The country has unique artworks, august buildings and visible evidence of a deeply rooted religious attitude. The country’s true appeal is only revealed to those who venture into the interior, such as into the highlands around Kandy, Nuwara Eliya & Ella to the old royal towns of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Anyone who has ever stood at the foot of the famous rock fort of Sigiriya will fall silent in the face of this sheer unimaginable feat. Also unmissable are the traces that the Portuguese, Dutch and British Colonial rulers left behind, such as imposing forts with which they tried to maintain their temporary power over Sri Lanka. The diverse fauna also deserves mention; in other words ones that can be found nowhere else on earth. However, Sri Lanka’s natural beauties are also unique. In addition to palm-lined beaches that are amongst the most beautiful in the world, there are the mountains, the thick jungle, waterfalls and a lavish flora and fauna. Add to this the seemingly endless plantations on which the tea, popular around the world, is grown. The colorful religious festivals, full of mysticism, are an unforgettable experience.
The mere fact that on this small spot of this earth, which seems to have been casually dropped into the Indian Ocean off the coast of India, so much can be experiences that is beyond all postcard idylls makes a trip to this fascinating island state worthwhile. Sri Lanka has a lot more to offer than negative headlines, All that remains to be said is the traditional introduction to the country which is Ayubowan, Welcome, to this beautiful country!
