Sri Lanka

TOP
Colombo
A drive through the city taking you to the busy commercial areas as well as the tree-lined residential Cinnamon Gardens. Visit Fort - the former British administrative centre and military garrison, Sea Street – the goldsmiths' quarters in the heart of Pettah, the Bazaar area, where there is also a Hindu Temple with elaborate stone carvings, and the Dutch Church of Wolfendhal dating back to 1749. The historic Dawatagha Mosque and the former Eye Hospital are two buildings in Cinnamon Gardens worth looking at. Also visit the BMICH, see the replica of Avukana Buddha and the Independence Square.
Kandy
Kandy is the hill capital, the venue of the annual Perahera. The last stronghold of the Sinhala Kings, Kandy was ceded to the British in 1815. Kandy is an example of Buddhism’s influence in Sri Lanka. Temples, shrines and monasteries keeping alive Buddhist traditions are everywhere.
Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
Ever since 4th century AD, when Buddha’s tooth was brought to Sri Lanka, hidden from sacrilegious hands in an Orissan princess’ hair, the relic has grown in repute and holiness in Sri Lanka and throughout the Buddhist world. It is considered Sri Lanka’s prized possession.
TOP
Royal Botanical Gardens, Peradeniya
Sixty-seven hectares of exquisite Beauty and botanical treasurers containing more than 4000 species, this is haven, not only for scientists but to every nature lover as well.
Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya, the “Little England” of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of mountains, valleys, waterfalls and tea plantations. It is supposed to be one of the coldest places on the island, but is really just like an England spring day, although the temperature does drop at night.
All around Nuwara Eliya, you will find evidence of the British influence. Houses are styled as country cottages or Queen Ann mansions.
Hakgala Botanical Gardens
Four miles south east of Nuwara Eliya, is another prominent peak, Hakgala. At its foot, lie the Hakgala Botanical Gardens, and beyond, the Hakgala Strict Natural Reserve. The gardens are smaller and less exotic than those at Peradeniya, but at 5600 feet (1707 metres) elevation, the species of flora are quite different. Opened as an experimental cinchona plantation (for production of the malarial antidote, quinine) in 1860, the pride of the gardens is now roses and ferns.
Seethaeliya
Seethaeliya is a liitle temple deicated to Seetha with the statues of Rama, Lakshmana and Hanuman.
TOP
Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage
Started in 1975 to house the abandoned and the wounded elephants, the orphanage has grown to be big family today. It is a unique experience never to be missed.
Polonnaruwa
Polonnaruwa was the capital of Sri Lanka from the 11th to the 13th century. It has some very splendid and spectacular statues. Lankatileke, Tivanka and Thuparama are the most beautiful and largest shrine ruins and Tivanka has the best example of frescoes of the Polonnuruwa peiod. Rankot Vihara and Kiriwehara are well-preserved stupas, and Gal Vihare is a rock shrine, housuing four Buddha statues, two seated, one standing and one reclining, and a Parakrama Bahu statute. These are examples of the creativity of the Sinhalese stone carvers. The Vata-da-ge is a unique creation of the Sri Lankan artists.
Sigiriya
Sigiriya is home to the 5th century “fortress in the sky”, which is perhaps the most fantastic single wonder of the island. It is also known as Lion Rock because of the huge lion that used to stand at the entrance to the fortress. Within its triple-moated defence, the huge rock rises almost to a sheer height of 500 feet. On its summit are the foundations of what was once a great and sumptuous palace and gardens complete with swimming pools. On one of the stairways, the only known work of Sinhala secular painting, survived in the form of frescoes of life-sized damsels in all the freshness and delicacy of their original colours.
Dambulla
Dambulla is a vast isolated rock mass 500 feet high and a mile around the base. Here we can find the famous Rock Temple dating to the First Century BC. The caves of Dambulla sheltered the King Walagamba during his 14 years of exile from Anuradhapura. When he regained the throne, he built the most magnificent of Rock Temples to be found on the island.

Spice Garden at Matale
Cinnamons, cardamons, pepper plants and several other spices grow in this exotic garden. You can also purchase spices if you want to.
Batik Factory
The Batik Factory manufactures beautiful batik prints. The shop at the factory sells a wide variety of batik items.
Yala
Yala is a haven for fauna, both indigenous and migrant. Bird concentrations are by the lagoons/salvers. You can spot thousands of flamingoes, assemblies of spotted billed pelicans, spoonbills, comorants and various species of herons, pheasants, pea fowl, peacocks and wild fowl. Wild buffalo and herds of wild elephants are a common sight.
Galle
Sri Lanka’s most historically interesting town is Galle. Built on a premonitory rock in the south of the island, Galle was a major port until about 100 years, but today still handles shipping and sailing boats in the natural harbour. You can stroll around the Light House and Harbour or visit the old town where you can see the traditional lace makers and carvers and purchase some of the finest shell-craft souvenirs in the world.
