The teardrop-shaped island dangling off India’s southeastern coast packs an extraordinary punch for its modest size. Sri Lanka offers ancient kingdoms, sacred peaks, golden beaches, and tea plantations that carpet emerald hills like something from a fairy tale. This is where Buddhism took root, where elephants roam wild, and where every meal comes with enough spice to make your eyes water in the most delightful way. Three thousand years of civilization meet pristine nature in perfect harmony.
