From the coastal areas to the misty mountains, the proud ancient kingdoms to the modern cities, the varying cultures, different communities to the delicious cuisines, and the exciting wildlife to the serenity of nature. Sri Lanka has a rich Buddhist heritage and is the oldest continually Buddhist country in the world. It is also a country of tropical forests, diverse landscapes and warm, friendly people.

Sri Lanka offers travelers much more than its past. In a country just 270 miles long and 140 miles wide, it has 15 national parks showcasing an abundance of wildlife (including the endangered Sri Lankan leopard), nearly 500,000 acres of lush tea estates, 350 waterfalls and hundreds of sleepy villages where life still revolves around coconut or tea farming. The Colombo National Museum features ancient sculptures and sketches dating back to the fourth century.
