Sri Lanka: The Golden Island

Sri Lanka is a teardrop-shaped jewel off India’s southern tip – a land where misty highlands and emerald tea estates meld into golden beaches and ancient ruins. In a single day’s travel, one can traverse emerald hills and elephant-dotted forests, then descend to the blue tropical sea.

The cultural heritage is 2,500 years deep: here lie the vast stupa of Anuradhapura, the lion-faced rock fortress of Sigiriya, and the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, each echoing stories of kings and sages. Colonial relics like the ramparts of Galle Fort and elephants bathing in rivers.
