DISCOVER SRI LANKA

This scenic Island was once ruled by 181 Kings since 543 bc,  spanning over 2350 years until 1815, before being colonised by the Portuguese, Dutch & British. Widely known as “Serendip” to Arab traders and "Ceylon" to the Portuguese, this pearl of the Indian Ocean was colonised for 443 years until independence from the British in 1948.  Sri Lanka was also enmeshed in a 30 year separatist guerrilla war, was devastated by a catastrophic tsunami, suffered from a deadly suicide terrorist attack in 2019 and faced an unprecedented economic blow from a covid-19 pandemic. We ask Travellers from far and wide to come and enjoy the sun-drenched beaches, journey through scenic towns, trek through lush green rice fields, explore wildlife in many national parks, and do much more. We need you here to revive the tourism industry. Contact us and we will take care of your needs.
