Sri Lanka Tours, Travel & Backpacker Adventure
Sri
Lanka has an incredibly rich history and diverse wildlife that has
endured through time. Formally known as Ceylon before 1972, the
island nation is located just 31 kilometers off the southern coast of
India. Home to over 20 million people, it has a rich ethnic diversity
and an incredible history told through ancient ruins and preserved
structures.
Sri
Lanka is a country with trekking attractions that provide not only a
good adventure holiday, but a close look at Sri Lanka’s history as
well. These sites include the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and
Sigiriya, as well as Kandy, the last stronghold of the Singhala Kings
before they were defeated by the British.
Sri
Lanka is home to three rivers that are excellent for adventure tours
in rafting. These rivers are: Kelani River, the Sitawaka River and
the Kotmale River. Sri Lanka is home to a very diverse wildlife. From
the commonly seen elephants to the rarely spotted sloth bear, and the
tree-climbing leopards, you can enjoy all of these by visiting the
many wildlife reservations and national parks in Sri Lanka. Highly
recommended parks are the Udawalawe Games Park and Sri Lanka's
largest, Yala National Park! Sri Lanka is perfect for those seeking a
exotic unforgettable adventure holiday!
