Sri Lanka Tours » Travel to Sri Lanka
Mark Twain described Sri Lanka as "all harmonious, all in perfect taste". Visit this land of idyllic landscapes, colourful culture and warm, carefree people and you will agree.
"May you have the gift of long life!" With this traditional greeting, you are welcomed to Sri Lanka; the original Garden of Eden. Colombo is a bustling metropolis of big businesses and small bazaars. Kandy, the last royal citadel, is Sri Lanka's cultural centre and home to the legendary Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the colourful festival of Perahera. Galle, the ancient port of Tarshish, is a town entirely enclosed within a medieval fortress. Nuwara Eliya, in the salubrious upcountry, nestles amidst picturesque tea gardens and dazzling waterfalls. In the 'Rajarata', or king's domain, are the ancient cities of Anuradhpura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla and Sigiriya. Sri Lanka's currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee. You should have no problem using international credit or debit cards in most of the larger shops. American Express, MasterCard and Visa are the most commonly recognised cards, and any debit card with a visa facility is usually accepted.
Sri Lanka lies in the same time zone as India. English is widely spoken, though Sinhalese is the first language and Tamil is the language of choice in the north.
COLOMBO
Formerly ruled by the Dutch and the British, Colombo still shows vestiges of its colonial past. The Wolvendaal Church and the City Centre Mansion (which now houses the Dutch Period Museum) bear testimony to the city's rich heritage. Buddhist temples, Hindu kovils (highly decorated Hindu temples), Catholic churches and mosques can be seen all over the city. If anything typifies Colombo it is the amazing contrasts: for instance, a common sight here is the latest Toyota speeding past a hand-drawn cart piled high with coconuts.
BENTOTA
This well developed tourist destination, sandwiched between a river and the sea, is ideal for water sports. Those who wish to water ski and wind surf will find ample opportunities to do so right through the year at Bentota.
