Country – Sri Lanka

What it feels like to be there…

Facing the Maldives on the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka has some truly great diving to offer. But throw in elephant treks in tall rainforests, ancient temples and the freshest cup of tea in the world, and you have a truly special location. The erotic art walkway that clings to the steep sides of the Sigiriya rock is exciting in more ways than one!

Some practical information worth knowing…

Most flights arrive at Colombo on the west of the island. This is also the best place to pick up cash for souvenirs. The weather is generally hot and humid, but cool respite can be sought up in the hills where the tea is grown.
