About Sri Lanka

The soul of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka, the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean," is South Asia's most compact yet incredibly diverse island destination — just a 2-hour flight from major Indian cities with no visa hassle for many Indian travelers. Book a Sri Lanka tour package from India to explore 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the magnificent ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya, the sacred Buddhist city of Anuradhapura, the colonial Galle Dutch Fort, and the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy. Experience the legendary Ella to Kandy scenic train ride through emerald tea plantations, spot Blue Whales off Mirissa coast, surf at Arugam Bay (Asia's top surf beach), go white-water rafting in Kitulgala, explore Yala National Park for leopard safaris, and relax on the pristine shores of Unawatuna and Tangalle. Sri Lanka's rich Sinhalese and Tamil Buddhist culture, ayurvedic wellness traditions, and remarkable culinary heritage make it the perfect first international destination for Indian travelers.
