SRI LANKA

MAP OF SRI LANKA Sri Lanka was not the name by which the island was always known. The Greeks and Romans knew it as Taprobane, the Arabian sailors as Serendib, the early Europeans in Asia as Zelian or Seilan, and the British as Ceylon. Sri Lanka, the land of a breathtaking spectacles. No country on earth displays such visual variety in a compact area as ours. Here we have it all, mountains that change tint from pale green to deep indigo as the day dawns and then lies, foaming waterfalls and broad sluggish rivers, trees and flowering shrubs to please every taste, wide plains, dense forest, mountains full of tea gardens, patchwork quilt like rice paddies, the wholesome village life, golden beaches, blue lagoons, waving palms along the shore, and the most of all........ her friendly people. "To me the beauty of Ceylon lies not so much in its blue seas and golden beaches, its jungles and its mountain peaks, as in its ancient atmosphere. There is no nation, from Egypt of the Pharaohs to modern Britian, in whose literature this island has not at some time been mentioned by one or other of its many names -- Lanka, Serendib, Taprobane, Cellao, Zellan, to recall a few. History lies buried in its sands, and ghosts of romance lurk among its bastioned rocks, for Lanka is very, very old.

MAIN ATTRACTIONS Blessed with eternal summer, an incredibily rich range of flora and fauna and a diverse, multi-racial culture, Sri Lanka offers the visitor the delights of a tropical holiday with all the comforts of home. GENERAL

Colombo	Sri Lanka's capital upto recent times, is a fascinating city, not only for a comfortable blend of east and west, but also for a cosy mixture of the past and present. It is still the commercial centre of the country. Colombo has been a flourishing seaport for centuries. Colombo are:- Buddhists temples, Hindu temples, Mosques, Christian churches, Parliament building, Parks, Zoo, Museums and Art Galleries.
Anuradhapura	Sri Lanka's first capital, founded in the 5th century B.C. is situated 206 km. from Colombo. Attractions are:- The Sacred Bo Tree, Abhayagiri Dagaba, Jetavanaramaya, Brazen Palace, Thuparama Dagaba, Samadhi Buddha, Kuttam Pokuna and Mirisavati Dagaba.
Mihintale	Situated 11 km. east of Anuradhapura is Mihintale, regarded as the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The rock is dotted with shrines and rock dwellings. A grand stairway of 1840 steps made of granite slabs, 5 metres wide, leads to the summit with its splendid view of the surrounding countryside.
Polonnaurwa	The island's medieval capital (11th to 13th century A.D.) rose to fame after the decline of Anuradhapura. See also the ruins of the King's Council Chamber, the Royal Citadel, the Kumara Pokuna, Royal Pavilion,the Vatadage Relic House lavished with moonstones, guardstones and sculptured railing, Kiri Vehera - the best preserved of all Sri Lanka's un-restored dagabas; Gal Vihare - the most impresive sculptures are the colossal Buddha images carved on the face of a granite boulder.
Sigiriya	This rock fortress was built by king Kasyapa in the 5th century A.D. and was a royal citadel for more than 18 years. In a sheltered pocket, approached by a spiral stairway, are the famous frescoes. The summit of the rock, with an area of nearly one hectare was the site of the palace, the outer wall of which was built on the very brink of the precipice.
Dambulla	Like Sigiriya, Dambulla is a vast isolated rock mass and it was here that King Valagam Bahu took refuge in the 1st century B.C. He later turned the caves into a rock temple. Some of the frescoes are over 2,000 years old and there is a colossal figure of the recumbent Buddha carved out of the living rock, some 14 metre long.
Arthalanthaya	Situated beneath sprawling trees and amongst rocks and boulders, Arthalanthaya brings tranquillity to the tired eyes, ears, limbs and minds. It combines indigenous classical craftsmanship with the state-of-the art technology to provide visitors wholesome entertainment and education through a multitude of Theatres, Play houses, Aremas, Amusement, Galleries, Alleys and Kiosks and employing both traditional and radically new formats.
Yapahuwa	An ancient fortress and capital built in the year 1301, approximately 145 km. from Colombo, Yapahuwa is a rock rising to a height of 90 metres. Many traces of the ancient battle defences can still be seen, while an ornamental stairway remains its biggest showpiece.
Aluvihara	26 km. from Kandy is the Matale district. An ancient rock temple of great significance in the history of Buddhism. The Buddhist canon and its commentaries, which were till then handed down orally, were written for the first time at Aluvihara Temple.

HILL RESORTS Kandy Sri Lanka's hill capital, stronghold of the Sinhala Kings, is our most beautiful town. It is 488 metres above sea level and next to Colombo is Sri Lanka's most visited place. There are many shrines and temples in and around Kandy, where you will see rare paintings, frescoes, wood and stone carvings. Kalapuraya in the beautiful Dumbara valley 8 km. from Kandy, Nuwara Eliya Set in the heart of the tea-country, this beautiful town is where the British succeeded in creating an English countryside with homes in styles from Georgian to Queen Anne. Well-kept lawns with hedges, an Anglican church and the famous golf course and beautiful parks give the place an air of nostalgia. Close to Nuwara Eliya are Horton Plains, Sri Lanka's highest and most isolated plateau. Ratnapura Sri Lanka's `City of Gems' and the centre of its gemming industry. The gems found include sapphire, ruby, cat's eye, alexandrite, topaz, amethyst, aquamarine, tourmaline, garnet and zircon. Gem collections can be seen at the National Museum, Ratnapura and a number of private museums, rubber and tea estates and scenic landscape are found in plenty. ISLAND & BEACHES Jaffna : has an austere kind of beauty that is vastly different from the rest of the island. with its virgin beaches and coraline coast and off shore islets, Manalkadu - a miniscule desert whose sheer wildness will impress you. Casuarina Beach is situated at Karainagar Santhakulam Beach Thondaimannar Beach
