With the civil strife nearly over, it’s high time we turn the focus on Sri Lanka’s distinct beauty and culture. This tropical tear-drop shaped island just off of India’s southern coast invites you to experience adventure (wildlife safaris), history (ancient Buddhist temples and fort towns), landscapes (mountains, beaches, rainforests, bamboo groves, and more), luxury (exclusive boutique hotels and top notch restaurants), and relaxation (breathtaking beaches and spas). In light of monsoon season, plan your visit between December and April. As it’s going to take you a while to get there, plan to stay well over a week, two is advised. And, be sure to save up and splurge for this one. It’s like nowhere you’ve ever been…and likely ever will be.
