This idyllic Buddhist Island resembles a place time forgot where cows roam the lands, ancient monuments and temples are to be found almost everywhere, and rugged landscapes is home to a wonderfully diverse range of animals, especially the elephants. Great explorers were enticed by the lush greenery, the fragrant spices and its tropically lifestyle. Some wrote chapter about it, some wrote books, and some never left after falling in love with the island and its many hidden treasures. 2000 years of culture history is recorded at ancient sites and temples some of which are now listed UNESCO world heritage sites. The recent past includes the rule of the Dutch and British over this sovereign island later gaining independence in 1948. Today its famous for its delicious tea, turquoise beaches, exotic wildlife, ancient monuments, and many more. An island so small, yet so unexpectedly diverse from every point of view.

Our recommended best time of the year to travel is between November to April. However, its best to keep in mind that this period is also quite expensive to travel as the European winters and the festive year end generally attracts a lot of travelers to Sri Lanka.
