Exotic, Colourful, Tropical: Sri Lanka, The Resplendent Isle
Contributed by Marie Nadal Sharma January 15, 2016
“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” — Dalai Lama
If you close your eyes and dream of a place that can keep you enchanted, enticed and excited all at the same time, you’re probably thinking of an exotic, colourful tropical isle. Like Sri Lanka.
Deeply spiritual, dramatically appealing, and steeped in rich history, this is one place that never fails to fascinate! Known as the Resplendent Isle for good reason, it holds invaluable treasures waiting to be unearthed by every traveller traversing its palm-lined beaches, exploring its coral reefs, discovering its ancient cities, and sipping its world-renowned tea.
Soak in the charm of the ancient civilisation coexisting with the flash of the modern, the magical folklore and myths of the land, and experience up close the intricacies of the spice trade. And if you're feeling adventurous, explore the abundant wildlife in Sri Lanka's famous national parks, trek through its scenic landscapes or enjoy scuba diving and surfing in the Indian Ocean!
Experience for yourself everything that led the legendary explorer Marco Polo to proclaim this teardrop-shaped jewel as "the finest island of its size in all the world".
