Guide to Sri Lanka?
Despite logistically hanging on the shirttails
of India, Sri Lanka has spent thousands of years developing its
unique personality.
The capital, Colombo, is a sprawling, noisy, but nonetheless exhilarating
city, with a largely Buddhist population who imbue it with a degree
of spirituality.
Since ongoing fighting between Tamil guerrillas and the government
may restrict travel, it is a blessing that the island can boast
such a varied landscape within such a short distance of the capital.
Along the southwest coast, seamless beaches run alongside the colonial
houses and Portuguese churches of Galle. Inland, the jungle breaks
for the occasional paddy field, before the land rises to an altitude
where Sri Lanka's most famous export, Ceylon tea, grows.
The colourful wraps of the tea pickers stand out against the groomed
plantation hillsides, and tea never tasted better than in the crisp
and scented air of Nuwara Eliya.
Riding through the humid mountain mists in an open-sided train is
the best way to visit the island. Under your own steam, you can
bike around the 2000 year-old ruins and dignified stone Buddhas
of the first royal capitals, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Certainly
not a 'little India', Sri Lanka is a country apart.
