A country of absolute exotic – that’s what you can call a small island located in the Indian Ocean. Of the 130 world historical treasures protected by UNESCO, seven are located on this amazing island. Sri Lanka is an ancient country with a rich history and deep traditions, it is the world center of Buddhism with magnificent monuments of this world religion. Thanks to the deep penetration of Buddhism into the worldview of the islanders, an atmosphere of unsurpassed peace will dawn here. The philosophy of religion completely permeates people’s lives. Art cherished for centuries and created with inspiration, treasuries, monasteries, statues and gigantic deities still retain the spirit of reverence and mystery, and reservoirs and irrigation systems built by human hands many years ago still surpass modern technical devices. But not only the historical heritage forms the notorious exotic. Sri Lanka located just 800 km from the equator and has all the riches of the tropical islands. As the Sri Lankans themselves say, they know only three colors – the blue of the sky and the ocean, the golden yellow tones of the beaches and the lush greenery of the tropical flora. And, indeed, the beauty of the landscapes of Sri Lanka can amaze even the worldly eye. Especially beautiful are the endless tea plantations – the pride and world fame of the island. Also, the whole world knows the traditional Sri Lankan spices, exotic fruits, gems, batik and, of course, the warmth of the friendly owners of the island. Vilpatu and Inginyagala National Parks, as well as the huge Dehiwala Zoo in the suburbs of Colombo, are very popular among tourists. In Dehiwala you can see such an unusual spectacle as the dance of elephants. The national park in Yala is a beautiful nature reserve, which preserves all the conditions of wildlife. Driving along special roads through the wilderness, you can see the beauty of the landscapes. On the way you will meet leisurely herds of elephants, graceful leopards and slender deer. In addition, monkeys, bison, anteaters and many birds such as the golden oriole, peacocks, storks and others live here. The endless beaches and ocean are just amazing here. Hidden bays and gulfs, the brilliance of a tropical rainbow, crystal clear sapphire-colored water, underwater coral gardens, the remains of sunken ships and shallow waters dotted with fish of an unprecedented color – these are just a few of what the Indian Ocean can give..
