Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka, a wonderful mix of picturesque landscapes, spectacular wildlife, delicious food and friendly people
Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is historically and culturally intertwined with the Indian subcontinent. There is evidence of pre-historic human settlements dating back to at least 125,000 years, and it has a rich cultural heritage. The country's first known Buddhist writings, the Pāli Canon, date back to the Fourth Buddhist council in 29 BC. Its geographic location and deep harbours have made it of great strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to the modern Maritime Silk Road. Formally known as Ceylon, the country obtained political independence in 1948, and became a republic, adopting its current name in 1972.
