The mystic isle of Sri Lanka

The Pearl of the Indian Ocean, Taprobane, Serendib - the isle of serendipity; these are just some of the names that travelers over the ages have given to the island of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is located in the Indian ocean off the southern tip of India and consists of 65,000 square kilometers. The island is large enough to pack some of the most awe inspiring vistas and natural wonders while at the same time small enough to reach any part of it within a few hours travel.

Be it sandy beaches or ancient cities, rain-forests or wildlife safaris, panoramic hill stations or island hopping in the northern peninsula, all these are just a day's travel a way at most.

While Sri Lanka is fairly well established in the tourist trail, most travelers stick to the well known paths and the popular attractions. This blog will introduce you to some of the lesser known off the beaten track attractions that this island has to offer.
