Travel Tips

Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island nation in South Asia. It sits in the Indian Ocean, just southwest of the Bay of Bengal and southeast of the Arabian Sea. Known as “the pearl of the Indian Ocean” for its shape and setting, it blends British colonial heritage, lush scenery and very friendly people. Since the 26-year civil war ended in 2009, this tropical isle has attracted many more travellers.
