Sri Lanka offers authentic Asian adventures

Sri Lanka is a state in southern Asia, consisting of a larger island and a number of small islands located southeast of India. The country was called Ceylon until 1972 and was one of the countries hard hit by the tsunami following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004.

The country is today a uniquely beautiful travel country.

It is more than 10 years since Sri Lanka came out of a barbaric civil war. And in the short time, the island has managed to be named the best country to visit in 2019 by Lonely Planet. We hope they can cope with the upswing that tourism is experiencing. It’s like instant fame for a rock musician. Not so easy to handle. Ask Bali and Boracay. It requires a plan, large investments, patience and experienced travel security at the right price.
