Sri Lanka – famous for its tea, coffee, coconuts and elephants! The island nation of Sri Lanka is diverse as it is laid back, a tour of the island offers jungle treks, ancient cities, golden temples, leopard safaris and some of the best beaches in the world not to mention the warm hospitality of the people.
The Sri Lankans have really done a good job in protecting their best assets, around 2000 square km of land of outstanding natural beauty has been preserved by way of four National Parks which contain tropical rainforest, open woodland and teak forest. Many of the important historical sites have also been protected as World Heritage Sites such as the holy site of Kandy and the ancient city of Sigiriya- a top contender for position as eighth wonder of the world.
