Sri Lanka offers a wonderful amalgam of tropical beaches, cool mountainous terrain, incredible wildlife, tea plantations, fabulous food and diverse cultures. From the thriving metropolis of modern Colombo to the World Heritage listed ancient capitals of the north, the cool tea plantations of the centre and finally the colonial coastal town of Galle, this slow journey explores the cultural and culinary legacy of pre and post colonial times.
Few places have as many UNESCO World Heritage Sites (eight) packed into such a small area. Sri Lanka’s 2,000-plus years of culture can be discovered at ancient sites where legendary temples boast beautiful details.
