About: To describe Sri Lanka in a few words is impossible, but in short, the best things come in small packages. An isle in the midst of the Indian Ocean, this country brags of outstanding white-sand beaches, a dramatic landscape, exotic species of birds and animals in luxuriant rainforests, world-class tea plantations, flavourful and fresh seafood, diverse ethnic groups and beautiful people.
The backpacking tour to Sri Lanka is a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds that will keep you wanting for more. This island nation's heritage is deep-rooted and although the land partly owes and shares its history with the Indian peninsula, it (also called British Ceylon) has an affluent culture of its own.
