You might
say Sri Lanka has been hiding in plain sight. Countless scores of travellers
have passed overhead on their way to someplace else, but years of war and
challenges such as tsunamis have kept Sri Lanka off many itineraries.
But now the war is over and Sri Lanka’s looking up. If you’ve ‘done’ India, spent months in Southeast Asia or simply want to explore a place whose appeal and pleasures are myriad, then it’s time you dropped in.Few places have as many Unesco World Heritage Sites (eight) packed into such a small area. Its 2000-plus years of culture can be discovered at ancient sites filled with mystery. Legendary temples boast beautiful details crafted by artisans through the centuries.
Colombo
With
around 6 million inhabitants, Colombo is not even close to being one
of the larger cities in Asia – yet there’s no denying that the city is full of
vibrant energy and always action packed!
