Discover Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean, with mountains, beaches, old cities, and tea plantations. Trains wind through highland tea fields, with wide views over the valleys. Buddhist temples are carved into rock cliffs, and stupas thousands of years old still stand. Colombo, the capital, is a busy port with colonial buildings and markets.
Wild elephants, leopards, and colorful birds live in the rainforests. Beaches have clear tropical water. Rice and curry with coconut milk, seafood, and fruit are common foods. Art, music, and hospitality are part of the culture.
