Thinking of a vacation that covers it all, why not think the Island paradise Sri Lanka. The tiny mango-shaped island in the Indian ocean is jam-packed with adventure, culture and all-round good fun. Even if you are travelling solo, with family or friends, the people and their culture embraces you.
As an Asian nation, Sri Lankans too are quite friendly and open, the diverse cultural backgrounds with the influences of their colonizers.
From verdant hills, to cascading waterfalls, world famous high and low grown tea, blue sapphire gems, best Cinnamon the list is endless. The pineapples taste the sweetest and eating it with some salt sprinkled with chilly is heavenly.
We like our food on the spicy side, the street food legend Kottu, made with its own clanging beat or some hot buttered cuttlefish with onion rings to be washed down with a good old lion beer.
Transport is relatively cheap and safe if you are looking to be adventurous or you could let an expert like Golden Isle travels tailor make your tour and handle all your transport. Let us give you points to places off the beaten tracks, that will still give you the truly unique flavor of Sri Lanka.
Mix your thrills with some soul food, take a break and relax in some of the most tranquil Ayurveda retreats on the beach or in the jungles.
