Sri Lanka: Between Buddhas, leopards and tea plantations
Its shape is a bit reminiscent of a tear of joy: the island of Sri Lanka hangs drop-shaped below India's southeastern tip - just 30 km as the crow flies! A tour of the island state reveals dream beaches with coconut palms, exotic nature in game parks with elephants, green tea plantations, dense jungle, cultural treasures and religious traditions with temples, Buddha statues and meditative places from a 2000-year history and Ayurvedic healing arts.
From the era of the old Silk Road until World War II, its strategic location and deep harbours made it extremely important. Sri Lanka is a multicultural nation with a wide range of languages, ethnicities, and faiths.
The most beautiful travel destinations in Sri Lanka in one round trip!
Fascinating nature, diverse culture
Misty mountains in the interior, magnificent tropical vegetation on the flat coasts, palm-fringed beaches with mangrove lagoons in the south, national parks with steppe, protected lowland rainforest in the south and the highland regions with lush green tea terraces: the manageable island with a length of just over 500 km offers many different sensory impressions in a small area. A Sri Lanka holiday unites beach holidaymakers with culture lovers and wildlife enthusiasts: swimming on the white dream beaches is just as much a part of a tour as visits to temples and national parks.
