3. NATURE

Secluded powdery sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, grass-carpeted plains and soaring mountains that pierce the clouds are some of the many diverse and spectacular landscapes Sri Lanka has to ofer. Whether you simply want to kick back and soak up the sunshine, or head out for an active adventure, the panoramas that surround you will astound.

4. PEOPLE

The locals love welcoming visitors with their big smiles and hospitable nature. They are relaxed, laidback and genuinely happy to share their world with those interested in learning about it.

5. TEA

Sri Lankan tea is renowned around the world. The British introduced tea to the island (known as Ceylon at the time) in 1824 and since then the tea-scene has burgeoned. Tea connoisseurs can enjoy a cuppa while relaxing in a street-side cafe, join a tea-tasting appreciation class, visit a historical tea estate, or learn about the history of Ceylon tea at the Ceylon Tea Museum.
