Luxury tours in Sri Lanka

(Itinerary below.)

Sri Lanka - a tropical, sun-drenched island in the Indian Ocean near the equator. This is a journey filled with ancient Buddhist and Hindu temples, "bo trees", jungles teaming in elephants and crocodiles, and green mountains in the heart of the island. We'll take you to where the tooth of Buddha is kept, to the summit of Adam's Peak "to wash away your sins", and to watch the unforgettable sunrise above the mountain expanses of this tropical paradise. But no trip to Sri Lanka should be without the taste of the island's white sand beaches, hence swim, snorkel among colorful fish and coral reefs, and relax in the shade of palm trees. And not to forget - sip the local palm wine or world-famous tea and sample the renown tastes of Sri Lanka's unique cuisine.
