Sri Lanka is a world in itself. One moment you're sunbathing in the tropical beaches and not few hours away you could be marveling at the the stunning colonial architecture at some gorgeously beautiful hill stations. But that surely is not what would take you back to the island country. It's much more. it is the bond that you will go on building with the people as you go along exploring the astounding landscapes of this country.

There is plenty for everyone in Sri Lanka, even for the fussiest and pickets eaters that your parents are for whom the sole mission of any vacation outside India is to find great tasting Indian food. Tell me I am not the only one with this complaint. Please!
