Sri Lanka
Marco Polo considered Sri Lanka to be ‘the finest island of its size in all the world’. He wasn’t wrong! It’s a relatively small island with a stunning natural diversity and travel in Sri Lanka offers the modern visitor a whole host of opportunities. From the surfer’s paradise of Arugam Bay in the south east to the bustling capital of Colombo in the west, the golden beaches of the far south to the archaeological sites of the ‘Cultural Triangle’ in the north… travel in Sri Lanka is one of the highlights of any trip to Asia.
