Destinations
Sri Lanka is an island of astonishing contrasts, where rainforests give way to sun-drenched beaches, ancient fortresses rise from jungles and mist-wrapped highlands shelter the world's finest tea gardens. In a single journey, you can walk the ramparts of a colonial sea fort, come face to face with wild elephants, and watch the sun dip into the Indian Ocean from a clifftop temple.
