Sri Lanka is the same Island which was made home by the noted writer Sir Arthur C. Clarke in 1956. Then a relatively unknown island in whose reference Clarke mentioned Sri Lanka as the Island Jewel of the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka, an Island in the midst of the Indian Ocean also known as the pearl of the Indian Ocean has one of the longest documented histories of the world. Rich in biodiversity, flora and fauna, arced beaches covered with shimmering sand, backwaters of pearl blue color, sky that dazzles with a billion stars in the night, dense forest cover which makes the whole island glow in the cover of flora diversity and gives it a green tint in the blue Indian ocean, Sri Lanka is most definitely a place full of life, radiance and of all natural delights.

Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between west Asia and Southeast Asia. The Island is well known for the production and export of Tea, coffee, rubber, cinnamon and coconut. Sri Lanka is one of the remaining abodes of Buddhism among others such as Ladakh, Bhutan and Chittagong hill tracts. The Island boasts of three thousand old histories. The ancient city of Polonnaruwa,, ...
... the ancient city of Sigiriya, the Golden Temple of Dambulla, the old town of Galle and its fortifications, the sacred city of Anuradhapura, the sacred city of Kandy, Sinharaja Forest Reserve and the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka are among the UNESCO world Heritages for the ancient temples they house. In the Hill Country, a layer of cotton wool clouds obscures the view, mirroring the misty mornings travellers often experience in this area of waterfalls and verdant tea plantations.

The cuisine of Sri Lanka has been an underrated one. It is one of the most complex south Asian cuisines. Because of its proximity to south India, there are many resemblances in the dishes itself. Some sri lankan dishes are believed to be the hottest in area of chilli content. Spiciness is what makes Sri Lankan cuisine so hot and lip-smacking. Only few places can offer a tourist with such remarkable combination of stunning landscapes, pristine beauty, captivating cultural heritage. Travel to Srilanka to taste the thunderous dishes of all times.

Adventure and wild sport spirits are totally spoilt for the pearl in Indian Ocean for the wide range of sports it offers. Camping in the central highlands, white water rafting in the Mahaweli River, Hot ballooning over Sigiriya, canoeing and kayaking in the Hill waterfalls etc, there is almost nothing this glorious treasure chest in the heart of the Indian Ocean doesn’t provide. To an ordinary eye, Sri lankan scenic beauty would look like paintings coming to life. As one roams in the historical island, crimson sunsets and palm trees romancing with the sea and the tropical winds.

Entry in Sri Lanka is through visa upon entry which is valid for only 30 days. Getting to Sri Lanka is easy once the visa has been obtained. In usual Clombo Tours Packages, arrival and return means of transportation are included. Apart from that, Sri Lanka is well connected through sea, air and roads.

Witness the unbelievable beauty of Sri Lanka; enjoy a refreshing stay in the Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
