Sri Lanka (Ceylon) The Pearl of Indian Ocean - Holidays October-March
For a quarter century, Sri Lanka seems to have been plagued by misfortune, including a brutal civil war between the Sinhalese-dominated government and a separatist Tamil group. But the conflict finally ended last May, ushering in a more peaceful era for this teardrop-shaped island off India's coast, rich in natural beauty and cultural splendors.
The island, with a population of just 20 million, feels like one big tropical zoo: elephants roam freely, water buffaloes idle in paddy fields and monkeys swing from trees. And then there's the pristine coastline. The miles of sugary white sand flanked by bamboo groves that were off-limits to most visitors until recently are a happy, if unintended byproduct of the war.
Among the most scenic, if difficult stretches to reach, is Nilaveli Beach in the Tamil north. While a few military checkpoints remain, vacationers can lounge on poolside hammocks under palm trees or snorkel in its crystal-clear waters. Or they can order cocktails at the Nilaveli Beach Hotel (tangerinehotels.com/nilavelibeach), a collection of recently renovated bungalows with private terraces.
An international airport in Matara, on the island's southern shore, is under construction, which will make the gorgeous beaches near the seaside village of Galle easier to get to. Decimated by the tsunami in 2004, the surrounding coastline is now teeming with stylish guesthouses and boutique hotels.

Sri Lanka, the pearl of the Indian Ocean, is an island located off the southern tip of India. Formerly known as Ceylon, the country was once a British colony until its independence in 1948. The Garden of Eden, is only 270 miles long and 140 miles across. The paradise has rich abundance of natural resources, fauna and flora, mountains, rivers and beautiful beaches. Part of the charm of touring around the island is the unhurried life-style of the people and the sights and sounds of the unexpected. It will make an unforgettable holiday experience on one of the most scenic islands in the world.
When the noted writer Sir Arthur C Clarke made his home in Sri Lanka in 1956, he claimed the island jewel of the Indian Ocean was the best place in the world from which to view the universe. The author of 2001: A Space Odyssey passed away in 2008, but no doubt the futurist would have logged on to Google Earth to gaze back at his island home from an online universe. And concealed in the sky-high imagery of this teardrop-shaped nation, he would have recognised an amazing diversity for somewhere so compact

Op het eiland leven zo'n 19 miljoen mensen. Dat is gemiddeld 292 inwoners per km². Die bevolking is echter ongelijk verdeeld en het aantal inwoners van de westelijke kuststreek ten noorden en zuiden van Colombo ligt vele malen hoger dan in het noorden en oosten van het eiland. Met uitzondering van Colombo, dat een bevolking heeft van anderhalf miljoen mensen, zijn de steden van Sri Lanka verhoudingsgewijs klein. Jaffna en Kandy, de tweede en derde stad van het land, zijn een factor tien kleiner. Landbouw en visserij vormen onveranderd sinds meer dan tweeduizend jaar de ruggengraat van de economie van het eiland. Rijst en kokos zijn de voornaamste bestanddelen van het dagelijkse voedsel van de overwegend op het platteland levende bevolking. Boek je Sri Lanka groepsreis bij Shoestring.

My Trip to Sri Lanka 2015
In December 2015 I visited Sri Lanka. It was eye opening to see the country where my family is from. Specifically seeing the damage and now rebuild post war where my dad grew up was incredible.
Also, my favorite animal has always been the elephant so this video is full of them among other things in this beautiful country.
Enjoy!

Sri Lanka climbs Kuoni list of best travel destinations
Sri Lanka has climbed the Kuoni list as the 4th best selling travel destination for 2010.
Kuoni
Travel Ltd is one of the largest travel companies in Switzerland, and
also one of the leading travel organisations in the world. It calls
itself UK's most successful specialist tour operator.
The operator's annual Longhaul Report, which was first published in 1980, reveals the best-selling destinations so far for 2010.
While
the top three most popular long-haul destinations for Kuoni are
Maldives, Thailand and US which held the top places last year, Sri
Lanka and Malaysia have moved up the list to fourth and sixth places
respectively.
China and Hong Kong is a new entry at number eight
and Singapore comes in at number 10. Kenya and Mauritius were the
destinations to drop out of the top 10 from last year.
Kuoni
said destinations to watch out for this year include India, Oman,
Indonesia and Cuba which are all showing momentum and just sitting
outside the top 10.
Other trends identified by the operator
include a desire by holidaymakers to get under the skin of a country,
to engage with locals or traditional and authentic experiences unique
to the destination.
