10 Awesome Places to visit in Sri Lanka

 

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia, located in the Indian Ocean southwest of the Bay of Bengal and southeast of the Arabian Sea. Sri Lanka has been called “the pearl of the Indian ocean” because of its shape and location.  It`s a country with high mountains, tropical forest, lots of wild animals and beautiful beaches.

Sri Lanka is great for water sport like diving, snorkeling, kiting and surfing. It`s an island you can stretch your legs taking hikes among tea plantations high up in the mountains above 2000m.

Sri Lanka is home to many cultures, languages and ethnicities. The majority of the population are from the Sinhalese ethnicity, while a large minority of Tamils have also played an influential role in the island's history. Moors, Burghers, Malays, Chinese, and the indigenous Vedda are also established groups. Unesco has recognized eight world heritage sites, in Sri Lanka, pretty impressive for a relatively small island!
